Re: OP Here

[(Anonymous)]

What time period are we talking about here? Because Harry Potter was set in modern times (read 1990s), not the Victorian age.

Re: OP Here

HP may have been set in modern times, but the wizarding world was certainly stuck in the past with many of their ideas and problems, as well as their whole educational system.

Re: OP Here

[morieris]

What past problems did they have? Their racism is something people deal with in modern times.

Re: OP Here

[(Anonymous)]

The "non-racist" good guys of HP still use terms like muggle to describe a person, so I'm gonna say they are at a different stage of dealing with racism than the real world was in the 90ies?

Re: OP Here

[fuchsiascreams]

Kind of like how white people refer to black people as "black"? Kind of like how Muggles refer to magical people as "wizards" and "witches"? It's a label and an observation, not a judgment.

Re: OP Here

[(Anonymous)]

Not in regards to women, though. If you read those books that give some of the history of the wizarding world (like the one about magical creatures, and the quidditch one) it's clear that women in the wizarding world had jobs outside the home long before it was common in the muggle world.

(Aside, why was I surprised that my computer didn't recognize the word "quidditch?")

Re: OP Here

[chardmonster]

Yeah, man, they wear ROBES, that's really old fashioned

I mean remember the end where Hermione swore off magic and stayed home to have babies forever

Re: OP Here

[fuchsiascreams]

Yeah, because everybody knows that racism doesn't exist anymore.

True, but the trope still stuck. If a teacher doesn't want to have children, people say, "oh, of course, you work with children all day, so you don't want any at home." If any other woman doesn't want to have children, even today, a lot of people will say things like, "you will change your mind when you get older." Because clearly all women want to be around children, ideally as a mother or at least as a teacher.
