Harry Potter Actor Johnny Flynn Calls for Abolition of Private Schools After Trauma

British actor Johnny Flynn, known for his role in Harry Potter, has spoken out about his difficult experience at Pilgrims' School, a private boarding school in Winchester. Flynn was enrolled at the age of seven and suffered bullying that led him to develop nervous tics. He later sought therapy, through which he learned about 'boarding school syndrome', a psychological condition linked to early boarding school experiences. The actor stated that he does not believe private schools should exist, expressing his views in strong terms.
