Ugh i was really into the books when they came out. I remember reading about the house elves and thinking how heavy-handed hermione’s crusade to save them was and so was trying to skim past those parts and (perhaps cuz of that) being surprised that rowling went to a different place (“they like slavery?? Wtf?”)
This was probably the first time i looked askance at rowling, started looking harder at the stuff she was pennin. Im pretty sure i noticed the house elves before the gringotts goblins
Wasn’t there almost the same type of dogshite with Dobby and the house elves?
something something the house elves LOVE being slaves and dobby is the one weird and whacky one for not wanting to be enslaved
this franchise is big headache
