    A video essay I watched pointed out that Harry Potter’s chief conflict is between old conservatism (the good guys ™) and new conservatism (the bad guys ™), and I will never ever unsee it.

      Uh no. The conflict would have been between old conservatism (pure blood rule) and new conservatism (include muggle born). It’s like one of the main topics of the story. The main baddies are declining aristocrats afraid of losing their position and power.
