“Beyond the Veil” Episode 2: “There’s Nothing Shameful About Being Different”
The Harry Potter series inspired a love of reading in millions, and some of us even learned how to read using these magical books. In our interview with Emily Garrison, we discuss how she identified with Harry’s outsider status, how the books helped her overcome a major learning obstacle, and how the Potter books helped her deal with grief. You can listen to this episode down below or on our podcast page.

→Having a learning difficulty can make you feel like an outsider, just like Harry
