Harry Potter and the Psychological Wish Fulfilment | therapist explains

JK Rowling's Harry Potter series is one of, if not the most, successful fantasy book series of all time. Whilst not exclusively for children, it's worthy an analysis pulling out some of the unconscious phantasies and wish fulfilment that the stories feed into.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays.
