    There’s the Gringotts bankers being a grotesque antisemitic stereotype straight out of Nazi propaganda, there’s the racist caricature character names, there’s the fact that only one character in the entire wizarding world is against slavery and she drops the subject forever after everyone makes fun of her for it, probably other shit I’m not remembering right now…

      If it’s like in the movies this sound like a stretch, pretty much every fantasy has something like this

      there’s the fact that only one character in the entire wizarding world is against slavery

      Isn’t dobby being freed from his slavery and help herry one of the main event in the story?

        In my head canon: Dobby was killed by the author because he was the one elf to reject slavery.
