Ths biggest reference, from the books/movies anyways, is that the bankers are goblins.

I don't know about the game because don't care about playing a Harry Potter video game.

I was referring to the game because that isn't made by JK Rowling who is the person everyone is mad at. Not the folks who actually made the game.

I'm guessing that the game still has goblins in it though. Be very shocked if there aren't levels in the bank.

But goblins aren't Jewish in Harry Potter? What's your beef with goblins in the banking industry?

I'm assuming that's sarcasm, but just in case.

It's the allegations that the series is referencing Jewish people are goblins, not that the goblins are Jewish. It's making the insult about noses and that they are greedy. Going back to old caricatures that Jewish people are goblins and bad.

I don't think that was the original intent and goblins were picked because it's a fantasy world, but I could be wrong. If that was the intent, it's fucked up, but don't think that's the case.
