That is just silly. I took a college course on Harry Potter and we discussed the parallels of Death Eaters and Nazis, the Holocaust and Voldemort's plans, the idea of blood purity in both.

Even Jewish scholars make connections between the two.

For Rabbi Linda Potemken, Harry Potter is a force for good.

Earlier this year, Rabbi Potemken of Beth Israel Congregation in Media led a discussion called "the Torah of Harry Potter." She discussed the ethical wisdom in the books and playfully paralleled them to Torah lessons.

"These books clearly delivered moral lessons that would be attractive to people of many different faith communities," the rabbi said. "They speak of the power of love, right and wrong, and the power of our choices to determine who we are. They exalt human virtue."

Or Star Wars?

I guess I think going the other way can be okay. Using literature to talk about real world things works okay, and I'd say that what you are talking about is examples of those. But what we are talking about here is using the Holocaust as a thing to frame literature and to justify a character's actions. That's what I have a problem with. I think there is a difference, though maybe not everyone agrees. And I'd still air on the side of saying no.
