For the duration of Harriet's story, played by Marlee Matlin, the audio is almost silent for approximately 9 1/2 minutes. This technique shows the viewer what a deaf or hard of hearing persons experience is. Marlee Matlin uses this in other shows she has been a part of.
During Harriet's part, while in the library, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix can be seen in the section of "Magicians Killed by Magical Violence".
