I know this is just a meme but isn’t this scene of Seamus Finnigan a movie only scene?
There are plenty of reasons to shit on JK Rowling, but shouldn’t this one be on the director? (Assuming it was done on purpose.)

No one seems to have had any issue with the stereotyping didnt seem to appear until the internet decided she was a cunt. The reality is that the character is one of the better ones in the book. Yes, hes stereotyped and the blowing up gags are a lot. But the character is never shat on. Never made to be the butt of the joke. Hes shown to be brave, funny, loyal. He grows up over the course of the books, and his character goes through some shit.
The main issue seems to be that Americans dont understand, that people over here arent so thin skinned. We can take jokes about stereotypes on the chin. Pretty much everyone in the book is stereotyped in some way. But none of it ever comes across as mean spirited.
Its all just “JK bad” shit. Instead of focusing on her, the things she says and does. People want to make out like everything she ever did was shit. Its silly.

That bank Harry goes to has a Star of David on the floor. The bank staffed by hideous trolls. It is genuinely funny just how bigoted this women, and by extension the director(s) have been this entire time.

This is one of those examples of people reading something on reddit/twitter/facebook, and spreading it around like a fucking moron. That “set”, is a real place. Its the Australia House in London. That is its actual floor.

It has fuck all to do with Jewish people, or the Star of David. That Geometric shape can be found all over the world. Islamic art, Christian churches, Hindu mandalas, Medieval alchemy, Occult diagrams, Western architectural ornament, Victorian floor tiles, mosaics, stained glass. The list is endless.
Now, lets see you double down. Cos we all know you people cant ever admit you are wrong about something. This will be fun…

It would seem you are misinformed the location was chosen for the it’s floor’s likeness to the Star of David, and as you mentioned it was done on purpose.
