Wow, what a fantastic article. I wish I had been as courageous as Katie when I was her age. I grew up feeling embarrased about my stuttering, and avoided talking to people, because I was afraid of how they would respond to me. I love the way you weaved this "lesson" into the story of Harry Potter, which many young people (and adults) can well relate to. Katie - what an inspiration you are for everybody. Keep up the great work. I am going to use some of your examples for when I talk to middle school students about stuttering later this month.
