Asian character with a nonsense name that sounds like Ching Chong
black character Kingsley Shacklebolt (MLK Shackles)
Jewish character named Goldstein
Jewish stereotype goblins
Irish character who’s obsessed with whiskey and explosives.
she went on Pottermore and explained that Skinwalkers are actually just misunderstood wizards, and the native american muggles were wrong to oppress the skinwalkers
her designs of the international magic schools are ignorant nonsense
Christ, what a bunch of contrived bollocks. Who’s the irish guy with the whiskey? Seamus? I don’t even know if he mentions it once. And his spells blowing up is just the films.
It’s not so much that he’s INTO blowing things up, more so that his spell work is often atrocious enough that things just explode.
I actually have a headcanon to explain this. We can sort of weakly infer that magic is influenced by the caster as well as just the incantation. Lily did a lot of stuff with flowers (even before she could control it properly), Hermione’s magic is always particularly detailed, Ginny seems to have a penchant for nasty hexes, Lockhart is inexplicably good at memory charms. Maybe something about Seamus’ magic just naturally gravitates towards exploding?
Never have I identified with Seamus as much as I do now

If you try to talk about Seamus, I don’t remember him making explosions intentionally. Obsession requires intention. Same with Lockheart’s explosion in second book.
Big time:

What’s the skinwalker thing from?

That all seems very weak.

So also add speciesism?
