      In the universe as she presents it she shows the Death Eaters going around torturing Muggles for sport as, well, a bad thing to do, but also something they generally get away with How could they not? How could a Muggle possibly call the cops on them or take them to court

      She makes a black comedy joke out of this with the cute little twist with the Prime Minister The Ministry of Magic goes through the legal niceties of pretending they interact Muggle government on equal terms But of course they don't really

      The PM doesn't get told jack shit, and more importantly doesn't get *asked* jack shit No wizard would ever take *orders* from a damn Muggle

      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)

      Replying to @arthur_affect @Hal_Duncan and

      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.

      Replying to @mssilverstein @arthur_affect and

      My genuine theory is that the narrative was driving toward a reveal that blood doesn't mean shit, anyone can do magic, the wizarding world's eugenics is wholly wrong, but she repressed that challenge to a fantasy of privilege buying into eugenics & ended up radicalising herself.

      While interesting, this would necessarily imply that Rowling was ever, in her life, contemplative, and I just don't think there's any support for that conclusion

      Yeah. I guess the problem is that it's really one of the only plausible conclusions; there's no good way to get out of "oh, ubermenschen are real, sorry if you're not one"

      Jake Kowalski is her attempt at doing a 100% sympathetic, positive take on a Muggle character who matters to the plot in Fantastic Beasts and I gotta say It's not great

          He's textually a veteran of the Great War who's seen some serious shit and obviously knows more about hard times and surviving trouble than someone like Newt Scamander but being a Muggle still means he's the goofy butt monkey He's also a funny fat guy
