Magical supremacy is an obvious metaphor for white supremacy. Magical supremacists like Voldemort who want Total Muggle Death are the villains of course. But this metaphor implies that whites are godly beings next to non-whites, with insanely more advanced abilities. Rowling is such a stereotypical lib she's saying that whites are basically time travelling death defeating apparating flying levitating psychic ubermensch. This shit is so funny

Professor Lupin's werewolfism is used as a metaphor for homosexuality. We hear it mentioned that Dolores Umbridge, who is an evil conservative type character, pushed hard for "anti werewolf legislation" at the Ministry that made it nearly impossible for Lupin to find a job.

i would believe you except the series doesnt really follow or care about the muggles they are merely a backdrop to the rest of the story.

it much more about class struggle
it being a,school
and there veing different houses.
