But the kind of nasty talk about "bankers" as a class of people as inhuman is really, really obviously, for anyone who knows anything about cultural history, antisemitism-adjacent
-
If nothing else, claiming that Gringotts is totally innocent makes JKR a huge fucking hypocrite Because she was all-in on the "Corbyn's Labour Party is antisemitic" narrative, which *completely 100% depends* on the idea of a "bankers = Jews" dogwhistle

1) Personally (and this is speculative from looking into my own Scottish heritage and having an interest in History) but a lot of stereotypes around bankers or the population being "money-grubbing" seemed to be in Presbyter countries (Netherlands, Swizerland, Scotland primarily)
-
2) with stereotypes like (greedy dutchman, swiss bankers, tight scotts), and a relatively high Jewish population in the Netherlands following independence from spain (see inquisitions) and a policy of religious tolerance I wouldn't be surprised if there's a link
