Pretty fucked up tbh.
Bold of you to assume that the Hogwarts class did not both fund the Holocaust and wish they could include the "goblins" and "mudbloods".
they also then DID slavery to elves because they were small and ugly or whatever
I’m sure plenty of them were actively involved. In the setting of the books (supposed to be 90s right?) still like 10% of wizards think non-magical humans are basically no better than animals, imagine what it was like a hundred years earlier.
You start out in 1954 by saying, "mudblood, mudblood, mudblood." By 1968 you can't say "mudblood" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like Diagon Alley, wizards' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] muggles get hurt worse than purebloods. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the muggle problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to make a bean flavor out of this," is much more abstract than even the Diagon Alley thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "mudblood, mudblood."
I mean didn’t they genocide the giants? Am I the only one who remembers that the giants sided with Voldermort BECAUSE they were genocided and forced into basically camps in the mountains?
They also were implied to have their own government or hierarchy as shown in there being multiple wars agaisnt a unified coalition of them.
If you remove Voldemort and Harry, the Harry Potter series is actually a pretty well done depiction of a liberal society sliding into fascism. Allowing militant racist groups to run free without challenge, putting people like Umbrage in positions of power: that's how the actual fascism gets done, not evil snake monster men.
Muh secrecy.
It's worth tens of millions of innocent lives apparently.
It was pretty fucked up when a wizard snitched on the Frank family tbh
