A moment in the third movie of the Harry Potter saga caused great controversy in social networks. A hammer and sickle appear on the scene and Internet users responded to the publication with numerous memes.
The film based on JK Rowling’s book ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ was a matter of controversy after being pointed out that it refers to communism. Fans of the Harry Potter films have been talking about a hammer and sickle that appeared in one of the scenes of the film.
It comes up for just a few seconds where you can see Hermione Granger in Hagrid’s cabin. At that time in the background, near the girl, a hammer and sickle appear, which were part of the flag of the Soviet Union and are considered as a symbol of communism.

The answer was immediate. Several users responded to the post with memes and jokes. “You are a communist, Harry,” wrote a netizen, changing the famous phrase spoken by Hagrid in the first film of the saga, and published an image in which the young wizard’s scar in the form of lightning was changed by the sickle and the hammer.
Other users emphasized the possible links of the Hogwarts ranger with communism. ” I always knew that Hagrid was Karl Marx, ” said the author of a comment.
“You’re a communist harry.”

It should be noted that this is not the first time that fans discover traces of communism in the history of Harry Potter. In 2013, a text was published on the FanFiction.net portal in which the protagonist of the famous series becomes a communist and returns to Hogwarts as a different person, along with a ‘ushanka’, a red star and a T-shirt with ‘Che’ Guevara on it.
