One of the deepest topics the cast discussed was the overarching themes of Harry Potter. When they were asked what they felt was the most important message in the series, they didn't shy away.

Natalia said for her the story of Harry Potter was ultimately the tale about an abused child. She spoke about the way Harry was treated by his own family but through magic he was able to find a new home. She said:

"your family doesn't have to be your home... your home can be your friends and where you make it and where choose to make that. I think that is a very important message, especially for children who are abused"

Oliver felt that the overwhelming theme of the books was light and that light can always be found in the darkness.

Bonnie also took the opportunity to discuss the work of J.K. Rowling's charity Lumos and it's mission to shine light on institutionalised children that might be forgotten.
