They get super pissed when you point out harry potter formed a magical militia or that he endured a smear campaign from the media cooperative with the government. Even after Rowling's downfall they just refuse to see it.
This. People don't actually know, they accepted the "headcanon", fanfiction versions of thing. They always pretend Tumblr "fixed" things they deem problematic and it's better than the real thing.
The entire campaign against Harry and Dumbledore follows the same path as the Nick Sandmann and Donald Trump campaigns. You're doing the same things the villains in your favorite book did to the protagonist and his supporters. Congratulations leftists, keep projecting.
It's because a bunch of idiots look at the very surface level for everything and then make flimsy parallels without ever considering there is more to it than what I'd expect a 6 year old to see.
House Elves are a great example of how they are regularly said to be slaves and then nothing. No one ever goes further than that they just say that like it's a deep statement.
Here's something that actually holds water. House elves are the magical equivalent to a robot. J.K. Rowling obviously used inspiration from many European folk tales in her writing, this is evident in that horcruxes are basically the One Ring from Tolkien. Unicorns are said to like virgin maidens and hate men. But more importantly Nicholas Flamel, is not a character she created. Nicholas Flamel was a famed French Alchemist of the 14th century.
A real life person.
He is something that someone who had wanted to build a european fantasy world would have come across especially when making a philosophers stone a major plot point. Because again this was a man who did exist in French History.
The point about house elves is that of the Alchemist homunculi, short misshapen men who were created to serve at the alchemist's side. She would have come across this when world building and wanted to use the homunculi but called them house elves since she wanted them to be her own thing which wasn't too far off.
But morons who don't understand that things come from somewhere just say. "Oh slavery"
Which is how we end up with these weak comparisons between real people and fictional characters because they are too dumb to consider that there was a deeper artistic choice when they wrote things.
I don't think house elves are meant to be homunculi. There are lots of stories about helpful household spirits, most notably The Elves and the Shoemaker.

So the number one lesson is "lock up your bike and never relax"?
90% of Harry Potter fans only know the setting through cultural osmosis.

Or that everyone was armed 24/7 from the age of 11 (or earlier), or that the government was given power and abused it, or...

Should be the only response when these chucklefucks try and compare anything and everything to HP.

Is this a personality test question?
"Which Hogwarts House are you?"
Anyone that answers sincerely is to be fired.
Out of a cannon.
Into the sun.
I give it a piece of paper for a heart piece.
