I would assume chain stores received similar amounts at different locations <| sep |> A pretty pissed off rock thingBest . Description . Ever . <| sep |> No no no don ' t be sorry at all ! You are completely right , and considering the gravity of how much shit Rowling would get lobbied her way by the families of the victims if she did specify it , I doubt the connection was truly written in to be such . Personally , I think that in a world so rich of allegory and symbolism like the Harry Potter world is , I think the main characters , including the villains , are for the most part selfinspired . Obviously the comparison with Hitler could be made about Voldemort andor Grindelwald because they were coldblooded mass murdering leaders , and maybe she drew from the Nazis as a group for traits to inspire Death Eaters and the like , but Voldemort ' s and Grindelwald ' s stories are quite different from each other and both are different from Hitler ' s himself . Sometimes the fandom annoys me a little with how insensitive things can become in , as you said , the winds of fandom . I saw once a fanfic of Draco selfharming and Harry finding out with that basically being the whole story . No resolution , no progression to give the impression things will get resolved , nothing ! It was just romanticising something a large chunk of the population is sadly affected by , either through doing it to themselves or having to deal with a loved one who does it to themselves the latter being my situation manyfold . But yeah , no need to apologise when you have a point like that D
