It's really getting hard to believe that Harry Potter didnt intentionally have really fucked up messaging for many many things
Jkr has gone on record saying that lycanthropy in Harry Potter was a metaphor for HIV/ AIDS, a disease that mostly affected queer men, especially at the time of her saying this, which inherently makes the werewolf characters at least somewhat queer coded
There are two werewolves in Harry Potter.
First, there's Remus Lupin who gets kicked out of his teaching job (which he considers rightful) because of his condition, and then goes on to be pressured into getting with tonks, (instead of Sirius whom a metatextual analysis of the text shows almost seemed to be the case) who was the other main queer coded character, then almost immediately having a baby with her and then dies.
The other is Fenrir Grayback, who is said to purposefully infect kids with Lycanthropy, kidnap them, and turn them against wizards
The only other queer person in Harry Potter that is fully confirmed and intented is Dumbledore, the celebate old man who groomed Harry to die. Btw Dumbledore being gay actually affected the 6th movie screenplay, apparently. JKR pretty much chickened out on also calling Grindewald, yk wizard Hitler, who was defeated in 1945, gay, but even if she didn't, it's yikes.
Then, there is Rita Skeeter, a woman whose main thing is being a nosy journalist who is very creepy and spies on children by transforming herself into a beatle & having artificial hyperfemininity that is constantly contrasted with physically masculine traits. She is literally described as having manish hands.
The goblins are basically a 1 to 1 of nazi propaganda of jewish people. They have curly hair, hooked noses, and are short. They canonically took control of the banks in a financial crisis as a way to gain more political power. The only mention of a political ideology that i can find of in the entire wizarding world is a mention that goblins at a time teamed up with anarchist wizards, which is a step away from Judeo-Bolchevism. They also have double loyalty, their true loyalty residing in their own race as shown with Griphhook, who betrays Harry (the christ figure) and dies as a result. Not to mention the 6 pointed star in Gringotts. There is also the entire can of worms of the insane antisemitism of Hogwarts legacy. (To add to the evidence of antisemitism, she uses word association for naming constantly and calls the only Jewish character GOLDstein)
The house elves are the happy slave trope from the Antebellum south. They are canonically enslaved to wizards and outside of Dobby, who is explicitly deemed an exception and Hermione who is mocked, everyone in the universe says the house elves like being slaves. Harry even inherits one, forces him to do labor, and one of his last thoughts in the paragraph before the epilogue is if Kreacher could make him a sandwich. They also speak English in a manner that ressembles Black caricatures from media like Song of the South, like never referring to themselves in the first person for example. JKR has gone on record calling slavery a system ripe for abuse, which implies she doesn't think it's inherently abusive, which aligns with the reading of the text where good slave masters exist (Harry)
Centaurs are said to live in land designated as allowed for them by the ministry, being parallel to Indigenous reserves.
She has also said there are religious themes in the book as she is Christian (Harry being a Christ figure and more)
With all of this taken into account, knowing her politics nowadays and knowing Harry Potter always showed those beliefs, my question is why are so many people giving a holocaust denying oligarch the benefit of the doubt when she has said she put allegories into the text like lycanthropy & HIV/ AIDS
To me, it's kinda obvious that Harry Potter is explicitly a piece of conservative propaganda. Harry Potter is a slave owning trust fund kid who peaked in high school, became a cop and married his high school sweetheart.
Especially with the little representation of minorities being massive stereotypes
(It's also HORRIBLY written in every way)
Because this harmful messaging seems a lot more intentional than most are willing to admit
