That's the quality worldbuilding and lore we need. I look at the series and what fans brought to Rowling's work and it's just disappointing.
A setting with magic and shapeshifting and no discussions on gender expression. Living in a hidden subculture and no reflection on what it means to live authentically. Having other sapient beings relegated to second class or slaves and no deep understanding of oppression or abusive systems.

I mean what if Harry had an actual muggle friend? What if Dumbledore was actually gay in the text? What if Hermione got tired of the neoliberal incrementalism and bombed the Ministry of Magic to free elves and the other magical creatures?
Radicalized Hermione sounds fucking awesome tbh.
It's not as though they didn't have a straight shoot out at the Ministry in both book 5 and 7.
But rather than making it about liberation and rebellion, each conflict had to revolve around securing the McGuffin Superweapon.
Or what about if Ron goes on r/GenZedong and Hexbear
