In this episode we look at the strengths and weaknesses of ability representation in Harry Potter. We explore ideas surrounding Neville and his parents, Lupin, and several characters that don't have access to magic. We also critique the Wizarding World for how they allocate resources and find other cases of ableism in and outside of the books.


(Oh, and here is fair warning that we don't talk about PTSD at all this episode because trauma is one of our HP themes for a future episode!)
