When you pay the game you realize how few women and non-white characters there were.

The setting is fun. The author is garbage. Also don’t think too hard about the characters or the way different magical races are portrayed.

When I played it, I felt like they kinda bent over backwards for representation. An Indian spells teacher, an African fortune telling teacher, a Japanese broom coach, etc… Plus not to mention all the classmates that are straight up from other countries, and that mention other countries in their conversations.
There’s also the married interracial lesbian witch couple, the trans witch who runs the Three Broomsticks and the letter you can find that implies she and Garlick were a thing back when they were younger.
A lot of the NPCs felt like specific middle fingers right to JK imo

Yeah if you start analysing it and paying the slightest attention with -phobias in mind the whole thing starts looking at bit sus.

I like that the first movie has a couple possibly problematic things (“you’re supposed to be a good athlete, it’s in your genes”), but I feel like a lot of it goes away the longer the movies continue.

The goblins made me go “uhh…” even when I first saw the first movie as a teen.
