Millennials love Harry Potter because of... World War II? Not because it was immensely popular when they were teenagers? Not because Sorcerer's Stone was probably their first fantasy novel? Not because the books grew older along with them?
"First conceived of over 30 years ago, the Harry Potter books are very much a product of 1990s liberalism: a moment when World War II still occupied a central space in the cultural imagination, and when it was still possible to believe that the best bits of the old political order could be retained alongside a gentle incorporation of the new. That’s why millennials like Harry Potter a whole lot more than younger generations do."
