critics say the goblins in j.k. rowling's books are like bad racist imaginary ideas of jews. the goblins in her books run banks, have hooked noses, and are greedy, which is what non-jewish people thought of jews in the middle ages. in "hogwarts legacy", the goblins kidnap human children. in the middle ages, christians would say jews had kidnapped christian children. really, this was usually a lie, and the jews had not kidnapped anyone. it was really a way of keeping jews in christian countries afraid.
