What is Deaf Perspectives on Harry Potter about?

This document discusses parallels between the world of Harry Potter and the Deaf world through a Deaf Studies lens. Some key parallels include: 1) Both Harry and many deaf children grow up without knowledge of the "world" they are truly a part of (wizard/Deaf). 2) They feel different and alone without understanding why due to being denied access to information about their own identity and community. 3) Issues of inclusion/exclusion of the different child in a family are mirrored in how Harry is treated
