I was actually just thinking of the books in and of themselves, but yes
On his teardown of them, they're so damn weird when you think about it; Rowling goes so aggressively out of her way to defend slavery. Instead of, you know, having your characters do the obvious good thing, they deride the only character who had any interest in even trying to, to the point it gets kind of comically disgusting
or make it a thing only slytherin still does to show they're the wizard nazis. that would be a trivial task, as all but one of the named house elves showing up were kept by slytherins anyway. it would have been so easy not to turn this into a giant yikes.
but no, the kids are instead putting christmas ornaments on the taxidermied slave heads in No. 12 Grimauld Sq. and that's shown as a festive and cheerful thing that livens up the place before the holidays.

It's all so...gross
also it's a magic world where the dishes can be done with a spell you could just not introduce slavery as a plot point
It's telling that she only introduced slavery to talk about how some races are inferior to others and actually enjoy being slaves.
Like all the work they do isn't necessary, they just really like being abused and told to do it.
