Harry Potter After 2020

"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 don't want to forget. The specifics of encoding memory with fiction are so detailed; that's empowering. It can help you remember." – Lorrie Kim, Ep 1.1

"The world is so different now than it was when I first read these books. 2020 is such a marker. There's a before 2020 and then there's after 2020 in our world, right? I'm curious to see: will I be able to enjoy this? Will I be able to engage with this again in a way that feels okay to me?" - JC, Ep. 1.0
