The most we ever got from her about this plot point was, OUTSIDE the books, her mentioning in interviews based on the barrage of questions people had about the epilogue, that "yes, the trio did all achieve their dreams and find careers making the world a better place"

"Hermione joined the Ministry and fought successfully for reform in the treatment of house-elves" That's it Just "reform" Some kind of improvement happened, maybe they're citizens and maybe they aren't, I dunno, leave me alone

Just the House Elves too apparently. Nothing about Muggles or centaurs or goblins or werewolves...

Love that when Dumbledore realizes the shit has hit the fan he's ready with suggestions for ending really basic disenfranchisement like "lets actually talk to giants" as a *war strategy.* Like he's always known the oppression was there but now that there's war it's important.

And then we learn goblins have these really specific longstanding grievances like "give us back our artifacts" and "let us use wands" but they're treated as background for the more important question, "Can Harry suck it up and work with these guys for two seconds?"

I’ve always had a soft spot for goblins thanks to Bruce Coville and so I was already inclined to see them sympathetically. But I was livid when I read Nice Guy Bill explain goblin craftsmanship/ownership as Theyre So Unreasonable.

This actually makes me mad, saying that because goblins and humans have different values, there's a "misunderstanding" over who owns the sword, but ultimately human values are more correct and Harry did nothing wrong

See MY human values are that if there's a dispute over where something was an actual gift or just a loan, the benefit of the doubt goes to the person who gave the gift, and insisting on keeping it makes you an asshole

This may go without saying but it really doesn't help the idea that goblins are designed to be antisemitic stereotypes when their customs are framed by the narrative as swindling humans out of their possessions.

There's a Star of David on the floor of Gringott's Bank in the movies, just really leaning into it

To try to be fair about this, they've said a bunch of times that this wasn't intentional and the Star of David is there because it's a real pattern on the floor of the real building (the Gringotts scenes were filmed in the Australian Embassy in London)

I did not know that. That is pretty fair

Just couldn't stretch the budget to a bit of CGI. Happens all the time with these mega-franchises. Accidental Jewish imagery in the same location as the blatant racist stereotyping. Something something union rules.
