      It really does end up being a struggle between a "liberal" elite who preach benign neglect and an openly fascist elite who preach unrestrained sadism But they're all fucking dyes-in-the-wool elitists

      The genuinely democratic, populist point of view only comes up at all to get mocked and abused, making Hermione into an out-of-touch Soapbox Sadie with SPEW Muggle populists show up as cartoon fundie villains in Fantastic Beasts (the witch hunters)

      It's a really striking far-right turn in the middle of that plot. The House Elves really are being abused, and we see it constantly. Dobby is terrified constantly. Then suddenly, it just stops being anyone's problem and Hermione is a joke.

      I mean, why the fuck did she bring it up at all just to shoot it down? How was that supposed to work? If we want to figure out when she got the brain weasels, that's probably it.

      "Lol at the super-earnest, out-of-touch child trying to end chattel slavery" is a helluva B-plot.

      Yeah, and I mean, it's not like house elves' plight is irrelevant, and Hermione can actually be shown to be wrong. She's obviously right, from the HE's perspective, just it's not done for Wizards.

      The resolution is super weird too. "Oh they actually like being slaves, so we made them *wage slaves* and they just never bother with their money so the banks can do bank things with it and this is good somehow".

      They didn't actually do that Dobby and Winky get paid wages, yes, but the en masse emancipation of house elves never happens in the books (and in the closest thing we have to a sequel, Cursed Child, it's never mentioned)

      This is actually what gets me the most The fandom almost universally assumes this MUST have happened and inserts this into their memory of the books because logically it seems like any decent writer would've done this But it didn't! It didn't happen at all!

          People even critique this based on this false memory ("Oh, and house-elves get emancipated in one line in the epilogue without ever really going into details") but they're wrong! They AREN'T in the epilogue, they DON'T EVEN GET ONE LINE

          The most we ever got from her about this plot point was, OUTSIDE the books, her mentioning in interviews based on the barrage of questions people had about the epilogue, that "yes, the trio did all achieve their dreams and find careers making the world a better place"
