The one thing that called my attention the most was in DH, when the trio enters the ministry and they see "this vast sculpture of a witch and a wizard sitting on ornately carved thrones, looking down at the ministry workers [...] Harry looked more closely and realised that what he thought were decoratively carved thrones were actually mounds of carved humans: hundreds and hundreds of naked bodies, men, women and children, all with rather stupid, ugly faces, twisted and pressed together to support the weight of the handsomely robed wizards." (DH pg. 198-199)

Does that not remind you of anything at all?

There were many other little things slipped in that I kept connecting to Hitler. Did anybody else notice them? Or the message JK was trying to portray with connecting her book to such horrific events?
