Bonus Episode - Wait and See: Gatekeeping in the Wizarding World and Beyond

At a time when most media has broadly recognized that representation matters, new Harry Potter properties seem to be lagging behind, leaving the fandom torn. Should J.K. be held accountable? Should fans trust her and just "wait and see" what she comes up with before passing judgment? In this panel, we'll discuss how to be a better ally and listener in these conversations as the HP fandom continues to grow. Bayana, Robyn, Connie, and Delia are joined by Maggie Brevig and Abby Ritter to discuss at LeakyCon Boston 2019! #WizardTeam is brought to you by Black Nerds Create, a collective providing content through the lens of critical and creative fandom.  www.blacknerdscreate.com Twitter: @blknerdscreate, @yanawroteit, @Robyn_Rambles, #WizardTeam Instagram: @blacknerdscreate  SUPPORT: Become a BNC Baddie Tip Us on Patreon Tip Us on Cash App Treat Yourself Shop at our Bookshop PRODUCTION: Hosts: Bayana Davis and Robyn-Renee Jordan Editor: Robyn-Renee Jordan Graphics: Delia Gallegos Socials: Nicole Hill #WizardTeam is a Black magical podcast for Black magical stories.
