“Harry Potter” is one of my favorite books and movies. Since I have watched the series of Harry Potter from the 1st to 4th I decided to see the 5th movie again which is the “Harry Potter and the order of phoenix” While watching it I found something interesting to think about. In this movie, the ministry of magic started to control the Hogwarts which means that the government interferes in the education in school. Two ideas flashed through my head. The first thing is the relationship between the government and schools. The second thing is what students can do and should do when it really happens.

   In my opinion, we can not eliminate the government when talking about schools because in some way schools need its help and it makes the education laws. For example, many Korean universities are receiving financial assistance from the government. However, government should regulate them as least as possible. Few years ago, in Korea, there was a heated argument about the government’s control over the universities’ way to pick students. At that time, I thought that the government go beyond bounds because schools have to right to pick students in whatever ways they want.

   Seceond, how should we behave when it really happens? In this movie, Harry and his friends think that it’s unfair and improper so they make a secret group to protest against the govenment power. I think we should do the same way if we are in this kind of situation because we have right to be educated in the better circumstances and express our own opinions. Although it’s illegal just like in this movie, we shouldn’t stop fighting againt it. If we let it happen, we will lose our power and voice just like we did about 50 years ago. I remember many people who fought against the vicious government and died for their faith.

   This movie can be just a fantasy movie to some of you but at leat to me and today, it definitely gave me something important to think about. Fortunatley, Harry Potter and his people win in the end of this series of books and movies as if it shows us that every justice wins.
