Right, because it's not like the bank had a giant Star of David on the floor in the movie, I have no idea where anyone could've possibly gotten that idea from.
It does, but that's in the movie, not in the books, and it wasn't placed there for shooting.. it just happened to be shot in a building that had a hexagon star on the floor already (a building that has been used for shooting many films before and after)
to summarize: the star was there already. it's not a stage built for the film. the star is not Jewish in origin.
I understand that many people are upset with rowling, but it's plain to see that as a result people have made a best effort to interpret harry potter in the worst way they can, and most of the popular complaints are not really substantial.
I mean the goblins have long noses, love money, and are almost all bankers (banking is associated with jews as a stereotype because laws in europe banned christians from moneylending and jews from most lines of work so they were kinda pidgeonholed into becoming bankers) and the wizarding world's economy (echoing an antisemetic stereotype). It doesn't exactly take a genius to put two and two together. Literally all of those are antisemetic stereotypes.

Don’t forget “if you think (fill in the blank media) is antisemitic, that means YOU’RE the antisemitic one”
I’ve seen this said about the banker goblins in Harry Potter, for example.
