Kids and pop culture franchises

[Handlebar Moustache]

My son watched The Phantom Menace for the first time yesterday. When I was reading him his bedtime story he said to me “daddy, so people who don’t have the force... they’re muggles, right?”

Anyway, what pop culture franchises are *your* kids into?

Grandsons are into Harry Potter and on world book day, they go to school dressed up as one of the characters.

It's not just kids who get into these things. I'm 58 and I truly believe that I am a Jedi (and if I'm not, then I want to be one).

Our oldest is a harry potter fan. Middle one doesn't have a favourite as such, maybe Tiffany Aching. The youngest used to be power ranger mad, but now is all minecraft youtubers.

Who doesn’t? Cool towelling robe garb. An actual lightsaber. Spaceships. It’s all there

Tiffany Aching? I must investigate and see the future of my children’s obsessions.

Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow? Am I right?

I met Darth Vader once. Nice guy. Told him I was a big admirer of his work crushing the rebel alliance, but we wouldn't do the chokey neck thing for me.

She is the main character in a subseries of the Discworld novels.

I don't think it's a particularly popular character, it just happens that I am a Pratchett fan, and middle sprog has similar tastes.

Or a lot of Pratchett for that matter. I seem to have a lot of his books.

I was profoundly affected by the Wombles. It got me into recycling, etc.
