3/ The Harry Potter generation is a huge part of the
#metoo
movement and it is not an accident that many of those feeling confident doing what is right over easy did so after growing up with these books.Prikaži ovu nit -
4/ Our concerns about Johnny Depp aren't unfounded or unreasonable: and I don't believe there's a single Harry Potter fan who thinks they know everything about the circumstances
