2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Also, often the art itself suddenly changes before your eyes when you review it with a new eye for who the artist has revealed themself to be.
Like the fact the only asian person in the entire set of books is a girl to serve as plot fodder named "Cho"
Or the fact that there's like 2 times that a girl gets specifically assaulted by a masculine representing figure in a girls bathroom while alone. (Troll attacking Hermione in book 1, and Myrtle by Riddle+Snake in book 2), its one of those "If I had a nickel everytime that happened, Id have 2 nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice" sort of dealios.
The list goes on and on, theres a lot to pick apart in the books if you go back and re-read them. There's a lot of stuff that makes you pause and go "hmm, what?"
Like perhaps the "goblins" with pointy ears, sharp teeth, glasses, short statures, who strictly only show up working at the one big bank, and are commented on about hoarding money and acting greedy...
(Basically a play by play classic set of caricatures of jewish people the nazi party used constantly to dehumanize them... >_>;)

There's a lot of issues with Harry Potter and JK writing in general. Even if you want to hand wave the Goblin thing, she also introduces and normalizes race based slavery and only addresses the issue by setting up the only character to have an issue with it as wrong and annoying for even noticing.
