      Tbf there's lots of folklore which does too, so you can see where she got the idea, since again she seems to mostly have been inserting folklore into her boarding school fantasy rather than loving fantasy for its own sake.

      I mean, yeah, none of it is creative

      It's not even that it's not creative. That's a separate topic, I think. It's that she doesn't have any particular interest - at first, at least, I can see her having become more so - in the specific creative traditions of fantasy and a constructed world. (1)

      If I wanted to be unfair, I would say this is kind of the root of many of her issues with culture in her setting - her wizards are a collection of many archaic and classist/authoritarian British bits because she didn't particularly want to envision a constructed culture. (2)

      And that's maybe part of why the nonhuman are treated the way they are. They are, fundamentally, less real than the Wizards, who are human (and British) and thus basically People, with real tangible social and geographic presence and weight. The magical beings aren't. (3)

      Like it's striking that it took as late in the original books for ANY of the nonhuman creatures to become significant characters, compared to urban fantasy. After Hagrid, Fleur is the first serious part-nonhuman aside from Hagrid, & her veela ancestry basically never comes up!(4)

      And that's actually really weird! There's Veela in the crowd in Goblet of Fire, and they are clearly capable of both passing as human and donning a nonhuman form, with full cognition - but it never comes up. We never get a veela PoV and Fleur is just treated as baseline human.

      You can sum up a lot of the series' ethos with the thing about how Muggles hold a vile prejudice against witches by portraying them as foul wrinkly disgusting monsters... which are actually *hags*, which Muggles are too dumb to distinguish from witches

      But hags actually are horrible foul creatures that real witches treat as pests and that's just objective truth

      This prefigures the whole thing about how the worst thing about Voldemort's regime is portrayed as accusing Muggleborn witches of being Muggles who stole magic from true witches and taking their wands from them Ignoring how they treat actual Muggles

      (If a Muggle or Squib actually did discover a way to steal a wizard's wand to "usurp" their magic from them... They would be completely morally justified)
