I had trouble believing Harry Potter as a kid. The whole house elf thing seemed unrealistic. Then when I grew up, I realised English people really are that racist.
That’s in the book. Grimmauld Place has the preserved heads of all the Black family elves hanging by the door. During book 7 when Harry and gang are hiding there, they put Santa hats and beards on the heads for Christmas.
Shaun has a takedown of the entire series on his channel, and this is one of my favorite parts:
so our heroes decide to decorate their decapitated slave heads with little Christmas hats…
now I’m gonna need to hit pause here, next to the Christmas slave heads, and ask: what is happening right now… why are the Harry Potter books like this

I remember seeing a meme of Harry Potter, but I can’t find it anymore. Basically a conversation between Harry and dumbledore.

These are supposed to be the good guys.
Yeah, there are parts of HP that are deeply fucked up, come to think of it. Thanks!
