The release of the Fantastic Beasts films has brought a lot of excitement to the Harry Potter fan community with new canon content and a cinematic return to Hogwarts. But by casting Johnny Depp as a main character amidst domestic abuse allegations with prominent members of the film production team standing up for his involvement in the film, the new era of Harry Potter stands in contrast to the values of our community. How do fans reconcile our love of Harry Potter with supporting survivors and standing up against abusers? Join members of the Uplift team for an interactive discussion of the issues and learn next steps you can take to make a difference.
