Rivka this is one of the most powerful pieces I have read in a very long. Thank you so much for sharing what must be an immensely painful story for you.

You’re one of the first people here on Medium that I wish was standing in front of me right now. I want to give you a hug and say that while my experiences were nowhere near as bad as yours I understand the cattiness, bitchiness and nastiness that all female groups can fall victim to.

Please believe there are some women out there who are nt like that. If we knew each other IRL I would be proud to be your friend and stand by you.

I also agree that while I will love the HP books forever I hate the reason JKR has turned out to be.
