Ah, well that's the dark secret of English profs: they've all read Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. It's the closest thing to current culture they all reliably know, so they use them to try to connect. Unfortunately, fewer freshmen each year have read Potter, as its day is past.

Not even American, but every literature professor I've ever had makes references to GoT, Star Wars and whatever hot Netflix series is running.
