I posted this on twitter but whatever posting it here too
A very fun concept I haven’t seen anyone really talk/write about is a “muggle” trend within wizards, a bit like orientalism, muggles being seen as exotic creatures that are interesting, a muggleborn being a “noble savage”, pureblood wizards being in awe of muggles but still believing them as less, a non civilized people who do not think or are able to do magic like them, thus, they aren’t people like them.
Very colonial mindset that kind of went in disuse after the world wars because wizards saw that the “savages” were, in fact, not just savages.
