In (some of) our defence the first few books appeared to be setting up for some good criticisms - they weren't resolved in the books they first appeared in, but they were highlighted in such a way it seemed to be drawing attention to real life injustices through the lens of a magical society.
But then they weren't resolved at all. The Weasley's poverty, the literal slavery, the systemic legal problems like a fucking soul eating prison - they wasn't going to be a real commentary, it was just showing off the features of the setting. And by that time we'd wasted our money on 4 or 5 books.
Launch anyone who bought the movies into the sun though.
