    Normal fantasy stuff like species representing racial stereotypes and slavery (yeah I don’t get why it’s “normal” in fantasy, she also did it worse then most others)

      I would go so far as to say that most fantasy works that have slavery have either a “The world is an awful place everywhere, at all times, in all things” tone, or a “Slavery is BAD” tone. Whereas Rowling went for “Aktually, the slaves are happy and you shouldn’t try to help them”
