J.K took lots of inspiration from Tolkien, in the Hobbit/LotR Tolkien gives a description of goblins dwelling in the Misty Mountains (pt 2 below)

I'm no expert but from what I've read, for the most part the word goblin and fairy can and are interchangeable depending on where/when the story is...

what of D&D goblins? they've been around since at least 1977. and what of Tolkein's goblins which are even older still?

goblins in D&D and pathfinder are greedy, love fire and chaos, hate dogs and horses, so Iwould be interested if there are anti semetic themes in those

what you also need to consider is that every interaction in the books with the goblins is colored through the wizarding worlds lenses so I would say

While JK introduced some of the antisemitic links (particularly the banks) I believe there’s an older association with goblins and blood libel

in Scandinavian folklore we have 'nisse' which is our version of goblin. some helped farmers if they were given food. if insulted they caused trouble

another different modern(ish) example of goblins that doesn't fit JK's goblins are those in the Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer - they can fireballs

thanks for this explanation. I have enjoyed the aesthetic of goblin core and Brian frauds artwork. I didn't know what to think of the controversy.

I made some goblins of my own recently based loosely on various representations of them...not a single fragment of the antisemitism!

Labyrinth's goblins are my favorite modern interpretation! They're tricksy, chaotic, and extremely varied! 💕

Even in generic fantasy that's contemporary with Rowling the pointy eared, pointy nosed, often green goblins have no association with antisemitism.
