Harry Potter star Johnny Flynn has opened up about his traumatic experience at Winchester’s Pilgrims’ School, where he was bullied after entering boarding school at seven. The actor developed nervous tics and later underwent therapy, which helped him understand “boarding school syndrome”. Flynn said he does not think private schools should exist.
