Oh noes. The Stranger Things fans will be all "sad times" about this. (TW: Harry Potter)

Oh dear. The Stranger Things stars were asked a question on the red carpet at the latest/last season's premiere. The question was: what monster could beat Vecna?

And two of them said a terrible thing.

Because - the young folk are supposed to all hate JKR and everything about her, right? They're cancelling Harry Potter, aren't they, the young people?

Oh. Whoops!

Not just the answer itself but the 'as a young cast, growing up, we talk about Harry Potter'. Not so cancelled, then.

Exactly. They are in the most successful series in the world right now, they're tuned in to social media in their personal and professional lives 24/7, but they clearly haven't got the memo...

It also gives the lie to the TRAs' constant assertion that all young people hate JKR and by extension Harry Potter. It's just us old GC biddies who support her, the children are the future.

However, outside their shouty bubble HP continues to be a cultural behemoth. The new HBO series will only strengthen that. (Although obviously that will be a complete failure because the talentless JKR, and HP, are totally irrelevant now, and nobody with any talent will want to work on it anyway. Oh.)

Well, that makes me happy as a ST fan. It occurs to me though that they are, in their way, successful like JKR so they can say that.
