Episode notes

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" is out now. The book follows a group of misfits who find family in each other. Author: "The ludicrous things that we discriminate about in the muggle world really are utterly immaterial"

The early days of the internet collide with the feverish fandom of “Harry Potter,” and a sprawling, global community emerges. But the hopefulness of this new technology brings with it the darker impulses of human nature.

Produced by Andy Mills, Matthew Boll, and Megan Phelps-Roper, with special thanks to Candace Mittel Kahn and Emily Yoffe.
