How does it feel to read Harry Potter after 2020?
The words on the page don’t change.
But times change. We, the readers, change. And that changes the story.
Join podcast hosts Lorrie Kim and JC on a re-read of the series, chapter by chapter. As we delve into the story, we’ll remember what the books meant to us when they were first published and analyze what we see differently now.
