If you are not a Potter fan, please allow me a moment to tell you why I am.
Reading the Potter books aided me in escaping the horrid reality. Tapping the wall in Diagon Alley opened a door away from the existence of the cult. The wall always slammed solidly shut, never admitting my abuser.
I often wished I could go to platform at King's Cross Station and waltz through the barrier leaving forever the pain wracked experience of church.
