Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating five feet above ground, sun on your face as you

slide by on track to your

there.

this is not a care in the world as you simply lean back.

And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travels should feel,

and on our trains it does.

Avanti West Coast feel good travel. Hello and welcome to Which Please, a fortnightly podcast about the Harry Potter world.

I'm your erstwhile tech support, Trevor Chau Fraser. Today's episode was recorded live at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

That's where Hannah and Marcel teamed up with experimental college professor Lydia Brown

to discuss representations of disability, queerness, and race in the Harry Potter world.

Now, Marcel asked me to add a quick note on sound quality.

Our organizers ordered a sound board, but it never came.

Instead, we had to rig up a solution with our own gear.

Now live recordings are always a bit rough,

so please forgive the stickier parts of this episode.

Without further ado, here's the panel.

Hi, I'm Emma Leese.

And welcome, thank you all for coming.

The people on this panel can introduce themselves

in a moment, but we just wanted to thank a few people before we got started, or groups,

rather.
