Focus on Background Characters: There is a growing interest in the daily lives of Hogwarts students, with fans on TikTok wanting to see "what the bg [background] characters in Harry Potter have been up to" rather than focusing solely on the main trio. "Cancel Voldy" Mentality: Instead of a complex battle, social media trends jokingly suggest "canceling" Voldemort or treating the Triwizard Tournament as a "Just Stop Oil" protest. 2. Digital Reinterpretation (Fan Fiction & TikTok) TikTok Skits: "Gen Z Goes to Hogwarts" skits feature characters using modern slang, with Hufflepuffs being "high," Slytherins "girlbossing," and Muggle-borns sending "Howlers" that act as viral memes or "sick burns". "Dramione" and Dark Academia: While older Gen Z fans often engage in mature, dark academia-themed fanfictions involving characters like Theodore Nott, others are popularizing pairings like Draco and Hermione (Dramione) due to its "rivals to lovers" trope. Memes Over Magic: Peeves is depicted as a troll spreading digital memes throughout Hogwarts, and students "rickrolling" professors via Howlers. 3.
