Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it's Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a "better time" when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).

I'm betting on either Minecraft or Your Mom's iPad

It's 100% Minecraft. There are videos on youtube making entire movies / tv series inside the Minecraft engine. I would bet any amount of money that there will be a prestige Minecraft series on HBO (or its equivalent) within the next 30 years.

I am a blursed edge case. I have to be nostalgia baited by the bad wizard books AND the blocks game. I even liked the Yogscast letsplay series that turned into a bizarre story driven experience when it first came out...

Still won't catch me spending a penny to make Hollywood execs richer.

First one came out right in millennial times but it doesn't carry that much nostalgia weight for us
