Harry Potter Turns 25, Netflix Spends $83 Billion & Success After 30 | HWP 1006

Welcome back to Hardly Working, the show about life, love, and labor — hosted by the couple that works, plays, and somehow keeps topping themselves.

This week, SP takes Vegas international with a 1,500-person DJ set at KAOS Las Vegas, while Kellie kicks off BMBL’s 2026 in a big way — starting with her first event of the year at NBC, followed by a brand-new custom trading card activation at Dodger Stadium.

In pop culture news, it’s a massive anniversary week:

• The Harry Potter movies turn 25, with global celebrations planned — butterbeer trucks, Back to Hogwarts events, and theatrical screenings featuring never-before-seen footage.
• High School Musical somehow turns 20 years old, forcing millennials everywhere to confront time itself.

We also break down the still-unfolding Warner Bros. situation as Netflix reportedly ups its offer to $83 billion in cash, raising some uncomfortable questions about streaming money, residuals, and what “there’s no money” really means.

Plus, Unpopular Opinions that will absolutely start fights:

• Being “easy to work with” beats being talented
• Thighs are the worst part of the chicken
• Watching movies at home is boring
• Steak is wildly overrated
• And success doesn’t expire at 30 (please stop acting like it does)

It’s pop culture, industry chaos, and elder-millennial coping all rolled into one.
