I think a good example would be the smear campaign Minister Fudge waged against Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter when they claimed Lord Voldemort had returned after the Tri-wizard Tournament." Abby starts humming to the music and tapping her foot to the beat.
"I see you are all fairly aware of what Propaganda is." Ethan noted, "Thank you for your example there, Abby. Can anyone else provide examples from the Wizarding World, or suggest situations where propaganda
may have been used in our history?
Ethan paused, "And a reminder to all of you to raise your hand before answering. I know I have been fairly lenient and often we get a bit eager to share our ideas; but if you are all calling out at once I can't hear my music at all and that simply will not do." Ethan winked at the class and swung his feet off the desk, sitting up and looking around.
