    Do newer generations even watch harry potter? Is this exclusively targeting millenials?

      Anecdotally, my neighbors have put up a hogworts crest on their door for halloween. I think millenials are having their kids read the books.

        I think growing up in a world of streaming instead of cable (ie having immediate access to stuff from every era) people tend to develop more diverse tastes. I’ve heard high schoolers call marvel “millennial cringe” but it obviously depends on the person lol. I also worked at a summer camp with 6th graders in 2022 and most of them seemed to mainly watch stuff under the marvel/disney umbrella

        Personally I’m in college and most of my friends like horror movies and (usually depressing 💀) indie films

          That already started with cable. Pre-cable is the last time you had everyone watching from the same 4 channels. Millennials already have diverse tastes relative to Gen X, who all watched the same shitty sitcoms and Hanna Barbera cartoons. Not disagreeing with what you said. Just adding more context to it.

      Most of gen z’s definitely seen it and I’ve seen a whole ton of Draco Malfoy stans on tiktok that are probably closer to gen alpha
