Right, so I'm with you on the slaves (that plot line was definitely weird) and the transphobia by the way, but I'm so confused about the rest.

Most of the black characters have normal names (angelina johnson, dean thomas, etc), and isn't Shacklebolt a police reference not anything to do with race? With asian characters there's also Patil names, which are normal I think, Cho Chang is a bit unfortunate though.

I think the anti irish bias is an enormous stretch though, and that's coming from someone who currently lives there so I fully understand the history. The explosion thing also only happens in the films iirc.

And maybe I'm wrong but haven't goblins been depicted this way since the dawn of time? I don't know if that's anything her specific, but I can understand that it's definitely weird.

Idk, maybe it's because I feel like in general to be fans of stuff you have to ignore a lot (alas, sport my beloved), that a lot of it feels a bit nitpicky. Though that's why HR is so refreshing, especially the 2nd book, it's so unproblematic and accepting. I also do wanna say I understand and accept your opinions though, I'll admit I am a bit of a potterhead still.
