    Since we’re on the topic; what irked me the most about HP is that it feels like a glorification of the aristocracy.

    The very idea that individuals born from great families are destined to influence the course of the world while the plebs rot in helpless ignorance is basically what’s wrong with the world. The magic school is clearly an allegory of these fucking ancient private colleges you get to go to if you’re born with status. The whole setup is a privilege fantasy.

    This is especially grand considering actual witchcraft was a way to frame, demonize and ultimately neutralize ordinary women’s knowledge and influence, for the sake of tightening the clergy and the nobility’s grip on the layperson.
