      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)

      Does Winky get paid? I remember it as Dobby specifically demanding wages and time off, then getting freaked out when Dumblemore offered him too much of both and negotiated down to one day off a month and some pocket change. Winky I thought just had the normal room-board deal.

      Yeah you're right, I don't think she actually even worked at Hogwarts when we catch up with her after she gets fired by Crouch, the other elves shun her and Dumbledore is just letting her live there

          So of the two free house elves we see, one negotiates down his salary to nothing before dying for the hero, and the other one becomes an alcoholic.

          Also: didn't Harry Potter inherit Kreacher? I don't remember details but it's been a while.

          Yup, when Dobby coulda+shoulda been arguing Dumbledore *up* to ten times that ten Galleons split among all the house-elves, all to be freed, with any innate elf need to serve sated by them being mutually bound with every other elf as "master/mistress", anarchosocialism FTW.

          I had been toying with the idea of trying to cobble together an urban fantasy setting where Goblins are the most magically powerful race because they have all agreed to back each other via power loaning as long as they don't fire combat magic at each other.

          I don't remember her being shunned, but she was totally traumatized by having been liberated and not interested in socializing, and the cute ensemble her master gave her in parting had grease splatters and tears whereas Dobby's cherished oddall garments were all like brand-new.

          Her alcoholism means she's not productive, so when she slumps drunkenly unconscious, they look at her in disgust and cover her with a cloth in shame--where they c/d so easily be covering her out of care, putting something under her head, actually *helping* if that's their nature.
