Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

[Leeann]

Hermione’s obsession with 'house elves rights' is overlooked and taken lightly by many of the characters, they all seem to be adamant on leaving things as they are because they believe house elves are happiest this way.

The elves themselves say they don't want to be taken from their work or get paid.

What do you think is the significance of the different views these characters have?
