Mary Frances Noser, actor, writer, and educator, joins to discuss the worldwide phenomenon children's series, Harry Potter. 

We discuss how the book series helped Mary Frances through her struggles with dyslexia, the moral failings of the adults in the Harry Potter universe, and the particulars of Draco Malfoy's upbringing. Tangents include the fandom surrounding the franchise, navigating an adult relationship with the books, and the complexities of finding a place to belong. 

We'll be back with part 2 of this episode next week.
