    Pottering Off - Trailer

    When the Harry Potter series ended, Michael Harle's mother wisely told him "Some people only have one good story to tell." Perhaps her words were prophetic, as J. K. Rowling now busies herself spinning tales of divisiveness that betray the morals of her own franchise. Longtime fans are looking for somewhere else to go, but with so many options, where do they even start? That's where Michael comes in. As a former Harry Potter superfan who podcasted about the franchise for ten years, a lifelong librarian who champions all forms of media, and an individual with multiple intersectional identities, Michael has made it his mission to help recovering Potter fans find new stories to love. Joining Michael are special guests with their own recommendations, here to highlight titles featuring the kind of equity, diversity and inclusion longtime Potter fans have waited for. It's time for a new story that goes Pottering Off beyond the Wizarding World.
