Max Kimble has been preparing for this presentation since he was sitting in a movie theater at 9 years old with very strong opinions about the absence of Charlie Weasley in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. He has received a BA in Cinema Arts and Sciences from Columbia College Chicago and an MFA in Film from Columbia University with a focus in screenwriting. His passion for YA adaptations has stayed the same but his position on Charlie Weasley has changed.
