Lol British folklore doesn't say goblins run a centralized banking institution, come the fuck on, that's her thing she made up

JKR's use of folklore is so haphazard and sloppy It's not just that it's "inaccurate", it's that the new shit she made up isn't particularly interesting or good, it's all seat-of-the-pants

Like how the various species of fairies just have nothing to do with each other in JKR's world House-elves and boggarts have nothing to do with each other, even though the original DEFINITION of a boggart was a "house-elf" (a brownie) that turned to mischief due to mistreatment

That's an idea with HUGE potential if Rowling wants to turn the idea of brownies into some kind of commentary on slavery -- do humans keep house-elves enslaved out of fear, because their only experience with "free" house-elves is as dangerous and terrifying boggarts?

She also invites this sort of analysis. As soon as we're told "avada kedavra" has bled through into muggle culture and Abracadabra, it becomes a valid *in universe* question to ask what part of real folklore track onto the magical world.

Yes, the whole thing is that JKR *pretends* that she's a highly erudite researcher who's based Harry Potter on all these respectable folkloric and mythological sources And fans went with this, instead of just accepting "Oh they're some fun books she made up as she went along"

That plays a huge role in the backlash that she's getting now that she's alienated people with her opinions It's a serious Emperor's New Clothes situation, people who wrote their honors thesis on symbolism and themes in Harry Potter being like "Hey wait I made all that up"
