I was beginning to get into Harry Potter with my kids at the same time I was getting to know Katie. When I was watching the Sorcerer's Stone for the first time I literally jumped from my sofa and started writing metaphors. I later read passages from the book to confirm. (All Potter fans know that some specifics vary between book and movie). I started asking questions in therapy that involved the Devil's Snare, the word stuttering, etc. Katie is an avid reader and she could relate to the metaphors and expand on topics further. She had read all the books but I had not. Yes, I do believe role play for cws could be really powerful. Several groups have put on theater with pws as a conduit for therapeutic change and/or to educate others. This Potter metaphor is ripe for a dramatic presentation.
