In 2011, the American author and journalist Suki Kim went to North Korea to teach English at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology. As she recalls here, one of her most memorable moments from that experience was the time she managed to show her students the film ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’.
