Harry Potter and Stuttering

I read somewhere that in Harry Potter movie (perhaps there are more than one and I am completely ignorant about series) one character Professor Quirrell stutters and he has been portrayed in a way that strengthens the negative stereotypes about stuttering. Looking to the fact that children constitute majority of viewers, many CWS (who are more in number than PWS in any case) can feel hurt and sink further into frustration and self blame game. Has any one seen this movie?

What is Self Help?

Read Here

Since there is no medical cure and available therapy almost always ends in relapse and self-blame, it makes sense to develop problem solving skills on our own: you would surely learn to fix running repairs if you are going on a world tour, instead of carrying your mechanic with you. It is all the more useful since it is practiced in a group. You develop social and communication skills, instead of chasing fluency alone. TISA promotes four core techniques: Bouncing, Prolongation, Pausing and Voluntary stammering. In addition, we share and practice many more skills/ approaches: listening, Body language, team skills, leadership, self-assertion, peer counseling- above all being a member of a vibrant community, through fair give and take.
