Harry Potter After 20204.25: The Egg and the EyeWhether or not you change on the inside, there are choices you've made in your past that you cannot run away from, and there are people who remember that commitment you made and were in it, too. You can't disavow this. Snape seizes his left forearm as if "something on it had hurt him," and that's one of those rare moments when we get to see the real Snape.

Harry Potter After 20204.24: RIta Skeeter's Scoop"Boys, keep back! They prefer the woman's touch... Girls to the front…" This is a de facto magical gender test, right? If you're a kid who might not fall neatly into the gender binary, then you have to wonder, “How is this magical creature going to respond to me?” You might be able to pass by human standards or wizard standards. What is a unicorn going to think? For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2025-04-3052 min
Harry Potter After 20208.4 Bess Carnan of WZRD and Geoff Hutton, aka Dream Quaffle “I know people who've come out within the last few years as trans or non-binary because of the book series. It is the perfect metaphor for being gay, for being trans, and that's the community that makes up the heart of, at least, the Wizard Rock portion of the fandom. Regardless of what she says, her books make a difference to little queer kids every day.” – Bess Carnan of WZRD Radio For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2025-04-261h 01

Harry Potter After 20204.22: The Unexpected TaskMy friend Lokifan wrote a meta about how Rowling writes friendship as romance and romance as mystery, because we don't know at this point who Hermione is going with. When friends are separated, their misery is how we consider romance difficulties to feel, and when friends are happy together, that's the great fulfillment that you get in a romance from the couple getting together.

Harry Potter After 20204.21: The House-Elf Liberation FrontOh, Winky. She's nothing but pain, but I love her so much. She has, for me, some of the greatest pain of any character in this series, because she has all of the anxiety and burden of being a caretaker but none of the power. She can't stop caring; she's not even with the family anymore, but she genuinely cared and she can't stop.

Harry Potter After 20204.20: The First TaskNot all of your strengths have to be in being academic, right? And that's really true for Harry. He's got a lot of things that he's good at, but that idea of playing to your strengths and having someone remind you, "What are you good at? What are you bringing to this that no one else is?"

Harry Potter After 20208.3: Lily Reevaluating HP After 2020I've been a fan of the Harry Potter series for a long time, and have been reevaluating my relationship with it as a trans woman over the last few years.

Harry Potter After 20204.19: The Hungarian HorntailThe Invisibility Cloak felt like such a symbol of escape and safety in this way that Harry was able to put it on and briefly escape from all the awfulness that's coming his way. And it was such a relief for me as a reader, too. You can think of it as being able to go into a safe space or a place where you know that, "Here, I can do whatever I want," and he can just be there and be safe. The only people who can see him are people that he really trusts. -JC ...2025-03-2653 min
Harry Potter After 20204.18: The Weighing of the Wands The thing about Voldemort is that he doesn't connect with people, except that there's this wand that makes it possible that somebody else has. All of this about second chances and the Christian symbolic wood and core in Harry's wand… No matter how badly Voldemort has damaged his soul, if he connects with Harry, there is a chance that his soul could be restored.

"A terrible look of mingled fury and fear came over him. ‘You!’" This shows why Merlin took infant Arthur away and hid him. If we see Karkaroff looking at Harry and then *gasps* being checkmated by the sight of this person who scares him, 'Oh, yeah, maybe baby Arthur and baby Harry... maybe we did have to go put them where nobody was going to try to kill them.'

Harry Potter After 20204.15: Beauxbatons and Durmstrang Hagrid as kind of a second-class citizen in the British wizarding world he's not really part of is because of what happened when he was younger and his wand got snapped, but Madame Maxime shows you if all that stuff hadn't happened, would he be a fully qualified wizard?

Harry Potter After 20204.14: The Unforgivable Curses If you're the person who was a victim of one of these crimes, you do not owe the criminal your forgiveness. If somebody has tried to mind-control you, torture you, or kill you, it's not your job to forgive them. It's not your job to restore their human dignity, to tell them it was okay. They may need that; that's on them. They have to go find whatever peace they can from somebody else.

Harry Potter After 20208.2: Dr. Brent Satterly, aka Clitoris Umbridge The transphobic messages communicate to especially trans youth -- but also queer and non-binary youth, LGBTQIA+ youth -- "you're broken"; "you are a danger, you're a threat." I think one of the things that is tough is that you can't not ingest toxic messages from that. It gets inside you and it's part of you, and the challenge is it's not just coming from J.K.; she's just someone with a huge megaphone.

Harry Potter After 20204.6: The PortkeyI don't think, pre-2016, I would've thought about it so much: how much the wizarding world is a metaphor for any group of people that has to live outside of the power structure or parallel to it, or with an eye on it at all times to make sure that they're not catching the attention of the wrong people. -JC For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-12-2543 min

Harry Potter After 20204.4: Back to the Burrow The awful thing that happens to Dudley, this body-horror thing of his tongue turning into something terrifying: that's the first announcement of one of the major themes in this volume that puberty is a time of monstrous, uncontrollable body changes. However your body changes on the outside, at all times you're going to have to somehow square it, coordinate it with who you feel like you are on the inside.

Harry Potter After 20204.3: The Invitation When he first gets the letter, Harry knows that it's the Weasleys asking permission, so at the very beginning of that scene he is not going to say or do anything to upset Uncle Vernon. And by the end of the scene, Harry is not at all worried about pissing off Uncle Vernon, and Uncle Vernon's the one who's scared of Harry. It's really wild to watch that change happen over the course of this one scene.

Harry Potter After 20204.2: The Scar How is anyone ever going to know how Tom Riddle, the child, feels? Well, if he can brand his followers with a Dark Mark, then there will always be people who know how he feels. It's the closest thing to having friends. When he's angry, and he wants to punish the rest of the world for how much he's hurting, then he has these built-in victims that have sworn their lives and their souls over to him.

Harry Potter After 20204.1: The Riddle House Crucio, Avada Kedavra, and Imperio were invented by infants who desperately need to control the behavior of others to keep them alive, and are terrified and enraged when that is endangered. That's why when you see out-of-control tyrants -- when things don't go their way -- exhibit appalling, punitive behavior, that's why they seem like babies.

Harry Potter After 20203.22: Owl Post Again Giving Harry back the cloak and the Marauder's Map, Lupin so distinctly crosses over from being a teacher to being a pure agent of chaos. He has zero compunction about this, but that's his actual true nature. He is a very edgy character, and that's something that I want to advocate for in portrayals of Lupin in fanfiction. He is a mollifying person, but he isn't a domesticated safe human. He is chaotic. He has a lot of edge to him.

Harry Potter After 20203.21: Hermione's SecretWhenever time travel and Time-Turners are used in Potterverse, I read it as this metaphor for how you can go back into trauma, into the past, with a different perspective and change not what happened, but change your view of the innocence and guilt of yourself, as well as other people, and understand where strength in yourself came from that you didn't believe in at the time.

Harry Potter After 20203.20: The Dementor's KissThe appearance of this Patronus made me think, 'This is the love that had strengthened him from his father.' This is so much more coalesced now in him. He's gotten to know the bonds between James and James' friends. He's connected with these friends, and he's been told that he's like James; flying, the most Harry thing, is connected to James.

Harry Potter After 20203.18: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and ProngsSirius has re-entered relationships. Until this moment, he had nobody but himself, so what did it matter if he killed Peter now or five minutes from now? Now Lupin is saying, "I don't know the story. These children don't, and James's kid doesn't know." Suddenly, Sirius has relationships that he's responsible to, and that brings life; that brings more reason to live. Scabbers is squealing; he's listening, too. This chapter is set up so that we can go back and reread it from every character's perspective; every character has something different going on.

Harry Potter After 20203.16: Professor Trelawney's PredictionIn this series that is overtly skeptical about a lot of new age or mystical things, we see something that is obviously meant to be genuine divination. It's powerful and it's undeniable, so do we suspend our belief or not? This series has simultaneously disbelieved and believed. It's fun, and the fact that Trelawney doesn't know about it somehow makes it more authoritative.

Harry Potter After 20202.16: The Chamber of Secrets The conditions do not have to be reproduced. It does not have to be a snake in front of you. What has to be reproduced is the person's magical state of mind. That's what's real. That's why, when you read a book of fiction, it changes you, even though you haven't been through the adventures that you've read about. This is why visualizations work.

Harry Potter After 20202.15: Aragog “At Malfoy's last words, Ron had leapt off the stool, and in the scramble to collect bags and books, his attempts to reach Malfoy went unnoticed." This is, I think, the only time in history that Snape ever doesn't notice a Gryffindor trying to hit a Slytherin. And yet, Draco has said this very loud, audible thing and then Ron is trying to hit him, and somehow Snape's attention is accidentally elsewhere.

Harry Potter After 20202.14: Cornelius Fudge The scapegoating: the timing of Rowling's anti-trans campaign when it really hit full speed -- when she published the manifesto about gender on her website -- was during June 2020, during the time of the COVID pandemic and also the global Black Lives Matter protest movement against police violence that's racially motivated.

Harry Potter After 20202.13: The Very Secret Diary LK: "Harry cannot resist the diary. This is our first sign of two horcruxes wanting to join each other because bits of soul, by nature, want to re-merge." JC: "Expelliarmus is used to take a weapon away, so the implication that the book is a weapon and no one really realizes it yet is very interesting, too." -Ep. 2.13 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2024-05-0859 min
Harry Potter After 20202.12: The Polyjuice Potion "Harry comes out of the bathroom stall and he looks at himself in the cracked mirror. This is the difficulty with which you look at your enemy. What would it be like to look in the mirror and see this person instead from that different perspective? This is the same cracked mirror that Harry and Draco see each other in in Sectumsempra. Same bathroom, same cracked mirror." - Ep. 2.12 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2024-05-011h 02
Harry Potter After 20202.11: The Dueling Club Now that Snape has Harry and Draco practice Expelliarmus against each other -- the people that they hate the most -- those boys are going to eventually go on to use this spell to bring down, each of them, one of the most powerful wizards of the century. In both cases, it's going to be Draco's wand against the Elder Wand. Both Harry and Draco have been taught by the same person, and the wands consider their magic to be interchangeable.

Harry Potter After 20202.10: The Rogue Bludger "There's this madman… this madman's coming at me!" His arm is shattered, it's hanging by his side.

Harry Potter After 20202.9: The Writing on the Wall "During the time of the Four Founders, there was an overriding real danger, which is that non-magical people were killing witches and wizards. That's what you want to be fighting, but Slytherin took it to in-fighting, had a blow-up with his three partners, took it out against them and decided that he was going to focus on killing Muggle-born students who are in Hogwarts. Is that really going to do anything against the real danger here, or is that the setup you've had in your mind because the real danger is so big and you're so powerless against it?"...2024-04-1056 min

Harry Potter After 20202.8: The Deathday Party"You have to go to school and sit next to a kid whose family is trying to make sure that something really, really bad happens to your family; if you get hurt or killed in that process, they like it. That's their aim, because they somehow think that if people know that bad things like that can happen, then they'll just go away." - Ep. 2.8 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-04-0342 min
Harry Potter After 20202.7: Mudbloods and Murmurs "We've seen multiple teachers having to deal with Lockhart.

Harry Potter After 20202.6: Gilderoy Lockhart"There's an exercise I do with kids about who really sets up the Dueling Club, and one of the exercises is to have them look up how people react to Lockhart and how predictable he is. How universally is Gilderoy Lockhart understood? Pretty universal." - Ep. 2.6 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-03-2052 min
Harry Potter After 20202.5: The Whomping Willow"I put a lot of time and effort into learning how to make really good chocolate frogs, and I once made about 90 of them for a fifth-grade party. Also butterbeer, a good homemade butterbeer with cream soda, butterscotch syrup, and some whipped cream on the top, and that makes kids happy for sure." - JC, Ep. 2.5 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-03-1343 min
Harry Potter After 20202.4: At Flourish and Blotts"There's just so much fun stuff in this chapter. I love the world-building that we see here, I love the interactions that we see here. We get these little glimpses of the politics of this world. Lots of little things around the Weasleys' house that's great, around the Burrow. I love it. I want to go there." - JC, Ep. 2.4 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-03-061h 08
Harry Potter After 20202.3: The Burrow"It's cluttered and everything has been reused and repurposed, and there's a lot of people in there. But yet, it's clearly a well-loved space and a space where all these people -- all these kids -- have thrived growing up. I love that image of all of this clutter being something that's just part of life. It's just such a contrast with what Harry grew up with." - JC, Ep. 2.3 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-02-2841 min
Harry Potter After 20202.2: Dobby's Warning"That's a big theme in this series: don't try to pull yourself out of depression by thinking, ‘Oh, you have to help yourself, you have to love yourself.’ No. When you're depressed, that power is dead, but you might still have the power to rouse yourself to do something if you're going to protect somebody you care about, and that is a greater power." - Ep. 2.2 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-02-2157 min
Harry Potter After 20202.1: The Worst Birthday"He missed Hogwarts so much, it was like having a constant stomach ache." Yeah, there you go. That's the story. That's undeniable.

Harry Potter After 20201.17: The Man with Two Faces"When pieces of soul are near each other, they long to unite. That's what causes the incredible pain in Harry's scar. We have Voldemort's soul in Quirrell's body touching Harry, who contains another part of Voldemort's soul, with this longing for wholeness that Voldemort does not understand, has never understood. That longing is so overpowering, the conduit, being Quirrell's mortal body, can't withstand it." - Ep 1.17 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2024-02-071h 10
Harry Potter After 20201.16: Through the Trap Door"There was already someone there – but it wasn’t Snape. It wasn’t even Voldemort.” The most amazing cliffhanger.

Harry Potter After 20201.15: The Forbidden Forest"It was the unicorn all right, and it was dead. Harry had never seen anything so beautiful and sad.” To me, this sight is at the crux of the discourse about children's literature and contested content. This image, the purity and defenselessness of children's innocence, is what's being invoked by all sides." - Ep. 1.15 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2024-01-2453 min
Harry Potter After 20201.14: Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback"Even though Lily's sacrifice is couched as maternal love and protection, if we take Hagrid and Newt calling themselves 'mummy', then it's not only female caregivers who can cast this kind of blood magic." - Ep. 1.14 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2024-01-1731 min
Harry Potter After 20201.13: Nicolas Flamel"Voldemort and his Death Eaters do not -- and will never -- understand protecting somebody that you actually dislike.

Harry Potter After 20201.12: The Mirror of Erised "All of Dumbledore's emphasis on humble things that Harry knows -- that Voldemort can't understand -- is an attempt to build up Harry so that he can be strong enough to contain this longing that nobody asks for but we're all born with." - Ep. 1.12 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com. 2024-01-0358 min
Harry Potter After 20201.11: Quidditch"When you go back as an adult and you re-read this, then you see the level on which the teachers are all talking to each other that the students don't know about. You see how the teachers are talking about ways to tell the students as much as they need to know; things that they're telling the students that aren't quite true -- that are supposed to protect the students -- you see the levels of behind-the-scenes teacher talk." - Lorrie Kim, Ep. 1.11 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show...2023-12-2743 min
Harry Potter After 20201.10: Halloween"Ron is taught Wingardium Leviosa; he doesn't even know how to cast it, but it's going to pay off later. This is indoctrination. Indoctrination is not necessarily bad, although it's a word that's used as a negative in arguments. It's something that happens. We have young; we teach the young.

Harry Potter After 20201.8: The Potions Master "In my fantasies, there's an alternate universe in which Snape, after this disgraceful performance of a first day of Potions class, gets disciplined, and there's a headmaster saying, "You can't do that. You're on probation." And then there's the universe we live in, where real teachers really act like that. That's what this story's about, not what should have been but what we know sometimes happens." - Lorrie Kim, Ep. 1.8 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-12-0652 min
Harry Potter After 20201.7: The Sorting Hat “Lily's child comes to school, and he is runty and starved and abused, and we later find out he's prone to headaches. Oh, this is not good. Somebody's got a guilty conscience for a very good reason, and this is going to be his job from now until Harry graduates or Voldemort kills him, whichever comes first.” - Lorrie Kim, Ep. 1.7 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-11-2948 min
Harry Potter After 20201.6: The Journey from Platform Nine and Three Quarters"Are you so important that you're acclaimed as part of the whole culture’s story? That is a level of emotional importance and cultural identity that is beyond whether you win things or you're president or whatever. Ron is going to be on a chocolate frog card. He is going to be the most successful of Molly's children." - Lorrie Kim, Ep 1.6 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-11-2245 min
Harry Potter After 20201.5: Diagon Alley“Ollivander won't rest until he finds your magic. You'll know it when you feel it, and sometimes it's not about things you've accomplished or powers you have, but about your hopes and your potential. This is, to me, the core value of this entire series: you matter. Your inner self matters. There is a true inner self. That's what magic is.” - Lorrie Kim, Ep 1.5 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-11-1554 min
Harry Potter After 20201.4: The Keeper of the Keys“He's an in-between character; he is partly wild nature and partly culture. He'll wear a suit, but it'll be horrible brown fur; he'll eat and drink, but the plates and cups are enormous; and he is half qualified, he's half magical.” - Lorrie Kim For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-11-0847 min
Harry Potter After 20201.3: The Letters From No One“The unstoppability of the letters is Petunia and Vernon's deferred truths of what they do. Whatever bargain they made: okay, time to collect. But I love that. It feels like, to me, what happens when you have an emotional breakthrough, you put something together -- a truth about your life or your family -- and you might want to try to deny it, but once you make that initial connection, you can't stop it.” - Lorrie Kim, Ep. 1.3 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-11-0246 min
Harry Potter After 20201.2: The Vanishing Glass"The fatphobia felt different. It felt personal, and easily – instantly identified and rejected by the majority. To me, the fandom collective response to it serves as a pre-existing, very good and healthy template for how to deal with other offensive areas in the story if you're still going to extract the things that are valuable." - Lorrie Kim, Ep. 1.2 For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.2023-10-2547 min
Harry Potter After 20201.1: The Boy Who Lived"I feel pretty strongly that -- at least for me and probably for other people, too -- the solution is not simply to cut loose, abandon, and leave, because there's me in there. All the associations with this series, some of it I want to go retrieve. That's mine. I'm going to go in and get it, and I'm going to see which parts of it are mine and which parts I'm going to just rinse off. Also, there's information there for me. Remembering what things were like, noticing what has changed, becoming conscious of it: that's power. I...2023-10-1854 min
