Mischief Managed

It’s with heavy hearts that we find ourselves at the end our magical Harry Potter adventure. Due to J.K.Rowling’s ignorant stance on Trans rights, and the insatiable corporate greed, we can no longer, in good conscience, continue with the Harry Potter Therapy podcast. We love the Harry Potter universe, we love the fans, and we support our trans family. However, we can no longer support the franchise. We love and honor all of you who have joined us on this magical journey and hope that you consider supporting our upcoming future projects. Be safe. Be kind. Stay magical and mischief managed.
