"Sometimes I'm stressed and I'm sick of things and I need to forget about them for a while, so in Harry Potter you're taken to this wonderful imaginary world where everything is so different"
About this Quote
The subtext is about how fantasy functions when real life feels unmanageable. This is not denial so much as triage. The "forget" she’s asking for is temporary, an intermission that lets you return to your own life with your nervous system reset. It also hints at why Potter hit a generational nerve: for kids and adults alike, it offered a second home, one built out of rules, rituals, and belonging. Hogwarts is chaos with structure - moving staircases, yes, but also houses, feasts, and a calendar of adventures.
Coming from an actress intimately tied to that franchise, the remark lands as both personal and cultural testimony. She’s not selling magic; she’s describing what fandom provides at its best: a portable refuge that feels less like running away than like finding oxygen.
