We are all aware of the craziness happening in the Middle East right now. The people are rising up to have their voices heard. I would live to begin by saying that, in this blog, I am in no way attempting to satirize or downplay the importance of the events in the Arabic-speaking world.
As Voldemort came into full power, he controlled the Ministry of Magic, and therefore a large portion of the magical world. This government oppressed the people and stripped rights from those it deemed less than worthy. The Order of the Pheonix opposed Voldemort, and were practically an anarchist group, at least toward the government ran by Death Eaters. In contrast, Libya and Egypt were hosts to large masses of people that sought reform in the government. Facebook played a major role in the cause of the Egyptian people, so much so that one man named his daughter Facebook. A similar entity in the magical world is Potterwatch, the radio show which tells all the true details of the passing events as well as attempting to instill hope in its viewers. Even in the magical world, people will rise up to combat a government that is unsuitable or evil.
