      And that obviously shouldn't be presented as the worst thing they do The worst thing is how they treat ACTUAL Muggles - and Squibs - who ACTUALLY can't do magic The fact that a Muggle is helpless to stop anything a wizard wants to do to them should be a horrifying injustice

      But the books never really question this They do, in fact, end up going with this idea that the talented elite deserve their privileged position by right and the bad guys are only bad because of their conservative belief that talent is hereditary

      Yeah, the elite trained in/for the four Hogwarts houses--Sandhurst, the Bullingdon Club, the Royal Society, the Civil Service--are distinct in their beliefs from Voldemort's eugenics only because they think it's the White Toff's Burden to rule the proles with bourgeois propriety.

      The bad guys are actually only bad because they *extend* the society-wide belief that talent is hereditary and results in better and lesser breeds (which the text asks us to read as in fact *true*) into subjugation by open force rather than deceit.

      Yes The whole thing is that when Voldemort talks about wanting to rule over Muggles as a tyrant... they're already halfway there Wizards already think they have the right to nonconsensually VIOLATE YOUR MIND and WIPE YOUR MEMORIES so you won't know they exist

      It's made super clear in-universe that no one in the Ministry gives a shit about Muggles or even knows anything about Muggles Whenever the Aurors investigate "Dark wizards" they're investigating crimes *against other wizards*

      All of the Muggle-related crimes Arthur Weasley deals with are explicitly much less important (remanded to the Dept of Enforcement but not actual Aurors) and all involve breaking the Statute of Secrecy, not harming Muggles in general

      But is there some mitigation in the fact that Arthur is so sympathetic AND enamored with muggles? Or would you analogize that to the colonialist condescention to “noble savages?”

      It's class tourism. For all their poverty drag, the Weasleys are upper class, graduates of Magic Eton, just with a run-down country home & nae dosh. Muggles, kept in complete ignorance of any capacity for them to do magic--to *be exceptional*--are proles, plebs.

      What are the odds that someone, somewhere, has done a cover of Common People re-themed for Harry Potter?

          You see? It basically writes itself, and Jarvis Cocker was even in one of the movies so like, SOMEONE has done it.
