      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.

      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

      I mean holy shit, talk about JKR accidentally stepping into seriously dark scary ideas she has no idea how to do justice to FB2 starts with the reveal that he's been *systematically brainwashed* by his witch fiancee dosing him with Love Potion

      And this is just a plot point that kind of happens and then we move on from it The sheer level of violation this represents is never really confronted, the fact that this makes Queenie a monster -- a fucking rapist -- is glossed over She's tragic, love makes you crazy, etc

      Lol the ending of the movie has Queenie -- a Jewish character -- sign up with Grindelwald's forces -- the wizard Nazis -- because it's the "only way she and Jake can be together" After she's already violated him in mind and body for months, she thinks he'll take her back

          Possibly because Grindelwald's agenda to allow "wizards to live in peace in the Muggle world" will do so, as far as we know, via reducing Muggles to brainwashed human chattel en masse I dunno if Jo really thought all this through

          Don't forget the inclusion of Nagini and what she really was in Fantastic Beasts 2, because holy wow the multiple angles of racist portrayal and design.

          It's just so lazy to have the wizard Nazis and the real Nazis just kind of live their lives in parallel to each other, without any real relevance.

          It's one thing to do the kind of visual allusions or the language motifs. But like, setting this all in the mid-20th c. means you have to really face both at once.

          I still haven't watched those films, but if I were to bet, I would put good money on "the introduction of real world religion to the magical setting is completely unexamined".

          The only reason we're supposed to know Tina and Queenie Goldstein are ethnically Jewish is their last name "Goldstein", which they share with the only other canon Jewish character, Anthony Goldstein from Hogwarts Religion itself never comes up in any sense

          Jake had such potential as a character in these films. He literally gets the only moment I like in Crimes of Grindelwald, when he sees Grindy's vision of the future war and just goes "Oh God, another one." Like, that's a great line! There's so much squandered potential there!
