Forgot to say this in the original thread, but it's funny to portray the kid as the Harry Potter fan, when it's much more likely to be the dad. Like the last of the movie versions came out over a decade ago. I imagine most of the fan base is at least 25.
Total anecdote but I remember my younger siblings getting into Harry Potter for a while - they didn't make it past the third book and never talked about it again once they got bored of it lmao. HP was a social event as much as it was a media property, if you weren't there when it was happening the whole franchise loses a ton of its power.
I remember there being giant midnight launches for the books since at least the 5th one. And honestly, sucks that Rowling's politics are shit and a lot of people haven't read a book since, but I imagine it got a lot of people excited about reading so not all bad.

My goal in 2023 is to read a book a week, but it's just reading the Harry Potter books on repeat.
