To be honest, I think Harry Potter (a series that I grew up loving, don’t get me wrong) is one of those series that people put a lot more on than it deserves or that it needs. It’s a very face value book. On the face of it, if you don’t look at the characters and story as more than they are told to be, is a fun good Vs bad saga. The moment you start reading between the lines you have a lot of issues ranging from classism to transphobia to the books essentially being New Labour propaganda.
