She shared that the feeling of belonging in a room has always been "elusive" for her, noting that in the Harry Potter world, she has not only been "accepted" but also "embraced and celebrated." The My Name Is Emily actress expressed that it is an "enormous privilege" to have that warmth and familiarity, emphasizing that not every quirky kid finds a lifelong community like this.

She shared, "I started passively watching it, and I had that strong feeling of, 'I want to be part of that world,' and then remembered, 'Oh, I already am!' The fans have kept that world very alive in my life."
