At the peak of Harry Potter craze, this might have worked well. Sounds like an older millennial

Its not about the age range, but because Rowling wasn’t a hate spewing TERF back then. At lest not publicly.
Quoting JK Rowling has serious undertones right now. Even more so if the recipient is nonbinary as OP mentioned in another comment. You wouldn’t quote a Nazi to pick up a jewish person, would you?

Quoting JK Rowling has serious undertones right now.
Is it quoting Rowling or quoting one of HP characters?
norimee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
HP characters are not sentient being who speak for themselves. They are still rowlings words.

Aren’t some millennials still in their 20s?

I’d consider them young’ns still, as a millennial a couple decades ahead.
One of the things about this generation is the people who arbitrarily decide on generations couldn’t comprehend all the changes happening from like 1982-2002 so don’t see how segmented this generation is.
My partner, a millennial from the end of the 80s has no concept of the childhood I had in the 80s, her younger brother born in 95 can’t begin to comprehend the world I grew up in but we’re still lumped together as if y2k/the millennium was what unites us.
