It's just that the whole Wizards vs Muggles things (especially in the final books) is framed as a racism or Nazi analog.

And I just think it doesn't make sense in the slightest. There really isn't any difference between the races -- race is a social construct. But being a wizard or a muggle isn't. And being a wizard gives you abilities that being a muggle doesn't. There's no advantage to being a muggle over a wizard.

Even qualms about killing people can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation. But I don't think there's ever a situation where having magic can be seen as a disadvantage the way not having magic is.

Well, if you want to go that route, it might be worth bringing up what the Nazis did to the handicapped . . .

But if you gave handicapped people the option to have the ability to walk back, they would take it. Hence why becoming handicapped can be so emotionally devastating for some people.

But that doesn't mean that it's okay to kill handicapped people.
