Don't see how you could read this as anti semitic tbh. It's just a little goblin man in a suit. He's happy because he loves gold so much.

European countries are so much better than us in every way and it's maddening I was watching Geowizard's trip across europe series over the last week or so. Everything is so clean, everything works so well, the trains are awesome, everyone is so nice and friendly and cool, all the food and drink is cheap and amazing, etc., etc.

I watched that Potter reunion and her absence was delightful. I hope some of the cast agreed to be involved only on the condition that she wasn't. Notably known JKR transphobia defender Robbie Coltrane was one of the few to film all his stuff on his own and didn't interact with the rest of the cast.

Her goblins are identical in every way to the incredibly problematic original world of warcraft banker goblins, which wow tried to fix by making them a playable race in an attempt to retcon the bank thing. I read a lot of problematic Victorian literature and the new publisher warnings on them are always fair "this book may offend a modern reader because it contains racist language which the publisher does not condone " and so on but you don't expect to need those warnings on a book from two thousand and loving seven.

Stealing my own post from SFWF: josh04 posted:It's a bit sad really, Coltrane was the one in the special who clearly wanted to be there the most (just ahead of Chris Columbus who was thrilled to have some former child actors whose lives he didn't ruin) and he's an old guy who thinks that the series is what his grandkids are going to remember him for and is terrified at the thought of it falling from grace. That doesn't excuse anything, obviously, but it was very apparent.

Books get away with a lot of poo poo because they have a high latitude of "well, that's your interpretation" (e.g. orangutans) that films (especially mass market family films) would not, and if the NAACP could get Roald Dahl's racist pygmy Oompa-Loompas removed from production in the 70s, what were the ADL or similar groups doing in the 00s?

Cheer up a Potter fan in your life by reminding them that they live in the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter already, they're just one of the non-magical folk that the wizards decided are a lower form of life and have left to die cold, alone and afraid in a dying world while they live in a gated community run by slaves and literally magic away all of their problems.

I would love this just for the kind of "supporting trans people" that terfs do. Neville Longbottom decides to call HIMself Natalie Longbottom and wear dresses, but never has the temerity to force anyone to call HIM by his non-biological pronouns, always introduces HIMself as "Natalie, formerly Neville, born with a male penis and possessing male biological characteristics, please call me HIM because that is the scientific truth of my physical form", and never once complains or disagrees when his coworkers at wherever he ended up spend half the day by his side yelling "YOU HAVE A LARGE MALE GAMETE" at him repeatedly because that would be silencing free speech, and in return the kind wizarding society graciously allows him to not have his soul sucked out for spreading dark gender ideology e: I looked it up and apparently he goes on to teach at Hogwarts. he'd have to give that up, of course, can't be exposing the children to this sort of thing

Not to defend the books (they are just not good on a critical level. They are so tied into a school term structure that the plot can't advance naturally and each plot can only be finished by terms end.) But it's Cannon in the books that Magical people are a higher life form. To cast spells you have to be a Pureblood or a Mudblood. But also your body is literally superior to a human. (That's why the Wizards can be knocked off flying brooms and only suffer mild injuries or get poisoned by magical creatures in ways that would straight up kill normal humans.) It is hugely problematic, but it's consistent in it's internal structure.
