As we sift through the last days of 2020 – looking back at this year in a bit of a haze – it’s safe to say we’re all looking for a light at the end of the tunnel when we welcome 2021. There have been wonderful little pieces of magic in the day to day this year, but the larger picture has been a little less bright. One thing the Harry Potter realm taught us is that light can always be found – you’ve just got to look for it.

With a global pandemic leaving much of the world with restrictions, many turned to various avenues of entertainment to provide solace and comfort. For us, that meant more time than ever reading, writing, and working on ways to help our community feel comfortable in their Fanfiction journeys!
