Metaphors have to refer to something else that is actually real as it would just be a pure fiction which isn't metaphorical at all. Harry Potter is metaphorical for anything.

Harry Potter is a metaphor for a great many different things. Most fiction is.

Your God is a metaphor for authority and nature, pretty much.
