The rec-league shit was there as a rhetorical device to build drama and advance the plot. Book 2's use of Quidditch as this insanely dangerous sport that puts you in the hospital was good aktuly.
she didn’t partner with Disney
It was Warner Bros. My mistake.
they never really fought the status quo, just kinda complained sometimes
The first three books were genuinely anti-establishment in character. Book 3, in particular, did a great job of painting the institutional world as cruel, corrupt, incompetent, and plagued by bigotry.
magic never really changed anyone’s gender
The Polyjuice Potion does this on a number of occasions.
Thd books and author sucks but learn what you’re talking about before speaking.
He only gets injured because his broom and one of the balls is enchanted in books one and two respectively. Quiditch is played as super cool the whole way through, anything dangerous is to make it look more exciting, not like a bad idea. The reason we don't see any danger from it later is because less and less time is spent on the field and people just try directly to kill him. The most dangerous thing that happens at a game is book four, when the world cup gets attacked, which has nothing to do with the sport.
This is not in a revolutionary "we need to fix the system way" but in a boomer "government sucks why can't I do what I want?" way. They don't ever suggest there is something wrong with using dementors to suck people's souls out, just that Sirius is innocent so they have to free him. This makes sense at this reading level, as kids at like 13 are still learning how the world works, thinking up new better systems is beyond them. However, there is no way the government is bad in 3 it isn't worse in 5, and the same solution of "hope old white guy in charge of school fixes it" is all they come up with. Heck, in later books it is clearly shown that the status quo had literally no possible way of fighting voldemort, and they still just want to go back to that, no changes.
The only time someone changes gender with polyjuice is in the last book when they are sneaking Harry away and have some girls and women disguised as him to throw off their pursuers. That's literally the only time, when all that was required was some visual and no speech or behavior,.and they all comment on how gross they feel. Past that, turning into someone else's appearance for a short amount of time using really expensive ingredients is not exactly a transition surgery.
