Comedian Jon Stewart had some criticism for J.K. Rowling’s portrayal of Goblin in her Harry Potter series. The Daily Show star says that they are Anti-Semitic and compared the Gringotts bank workers to caricatures of Jews. The Problem with Jon Stewart podcast saw the comedian talking about his experience of the wildly-popular franchise versus the reactions of theater-goers around him. The TV star expected to hear some kind of pushback but was surprised when none came. On social media, people have pushed back on his statement or endorsed it. Rowling has been entangled in some pretty high-profile moments when it comes to identity and minorities on Twitter and other platforms. Stewart mentioned this as a personal conversation but now anyone with knowledge of Harry Potter is sharing their take on the situation. Check out his words down below.
