Why ‘Wednesday’ Season 2 Should Take Inspiration From ‘Harry Potter’

‘Wednesday’ is a hit among fans of the Addams Family, Jenna Ortega, and anyone who enjoys a good, quirky mystery. The Netflix show shares some similarities with other boarding school-themed stories, particularly the ‘Harry Potter’ series. To enhance its appeal in Season 2, ‘Wednesday’ could draw inspiration from the Harry Potter universe, especially in terms of exploring life and academics at Nevermore Academy.

Incorporating more academic elements could provide intriguing parallels to Hogwarts, where characters not only master magical skills but also navigate complex relationships with classmates and teachers. Like Harry Potter’s educational journey, ‘Wednesday’ could benefit from delving deeper into classroom dynamics and school projects, perhaps even featuring collaborative tasks that reveal more about the characters’ interactions.

Expanding on the setting is crucial. Season 1 established a strong sense of place but mostly focused on the town of Jericho. Season 2 could enrich the portrayal of Nevermore, showcasing its unique features and more of the students’ dormitories, reflecting their personalities as hinted by co-creator Alfred Gough.

Moreover, exploring the different cliques at Nevermore, like sirens and gorgons, would add depth to the school’s atmosphere. This approach could mirror the engaging aspects of Hogwarts life, from dining experiences to recreational activities like Quidditch, thus enhancing the show’s immersion into its fantastical world.
