For the second episode of The Rights Pod, I sat down with human rights student Shikha Srinivas to discuss Harry Potter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.We’ll be tackling some of your tough questions about the wizarding world — does the prison of Azkaban meet human rights standards? Does the use of dementors constitute state-sponsored torture? Is the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic **really** committed to free speech? And, in light of JK Rowling’s anti-trans statements, can we separate art from the artist?For answers to these magical questions, subscribe to the Rights Pod wherever you get your podcasts.
