I'm a Goblin. an ork (the elvish word for a goblin), to be specific. Actually, goblins or any monster in an adult game isn't my thing.
I do find HP elves ugly. HP goblins are ugly too, but in somewhat funny way: I always thought that JKR (or movie makers) made them as a mockery of a certain ethnicity. But don't blame me, it's all her/their doing. As for HP elves, they're not fun, just sad. And OP.
I like how Harry gradually realizes that his relatives aren't that bad, there are people much worse; and that the magic world, as it turned out, is far from perfect. That process of turning the cards justifies elves in the plot. But still, imo, they're too OP and unbelievably underestimated by human magic users, given that elves are often equally, if not more powerful than common magic folk.
Anyway, I only like straight things, I'm avoiding anything that don't look like a human, and I certainly will.
