I think that's partially caused by preconceptions bleeding in from so many "Britain is the ass-end of the Magical World" stories. I do think Hermione dismissing the notion that France is more liberal should be enough to show that is not the case.
Preconceptions seem to be rather rampant in general. I had "Dumbledore is a manipulative old fool" reactions at the start of this story, until Dumbledore's motivations for opposing Harry becoming Hermione's Patron were revealed, just because "Dumbledore not going along with what 11 years old Harry and 12 years old Hermione want? Manipulative evil Dumbledore!" seems to be almost a reflex these days. One poster here assumed the story would be bashing the Weasleys just because they were not present in the first chapter. And of course, as soon as one doesn't white-wash bigotry and stupidity, people scream "bashfic!".
Next weekend, or a bit beforehand.
That will be interesting to see. I can't figure how you can make those fit together.
A raid from the perspective of a poor pureblood Death Eater who is angry that some mudbloods are actually living (slightly) better than he does. Maybe some thoughts from Voldemort, looking down on useful cannon fodder with delusions of equality.
