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.

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.

A more thoughtful author could have pulled this off. After all a fascist empire coming together to fight a different fascist empire has analogue to what both the US and UK were doing at the time Hitler rose to power
