I'm thinking of posting about how the (overdone) parallels between blood-purity and racism and muggles/muggleborns as POC/Jews makes the whole bit where Harry saves everyone and we don't really see much action from the muggleborns/muggles in their own defence kind of icky.
Plus add that to the general feeling in Britain that colonies were 'granted' independence and minorities were 'granted' rights - not that we actually fought for anything.
But I'm not sure I can handle all the 'but they're just books!' sentiment.
