      ab: The article presents incidents from the book "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which have drawn inspiration from the real life issue of freedom of information. Writer J. K. Rowling explores the bureaucratic regulation of knowledge, the evils of misinformation, and the heavy burden of understanding. Protagonist Harry Potter throughout the book is engaged in frustrating struggle for the control of information. Though the novel emphasizes on the fundamental right to truth, Potter finds that the consequences that can sometimes accompany learning comes with as many problems as ignorance.
