Stranger Thingspulls from a known library of classic ‘80s movies,Room Girls Sex Skill but it's also a classic story of a ragtag team of scrappy heroes fighting the battle of good versus evil. That's a tale as old as time --and the secret behind some of Hollywood's most successful and resonant stories.
There are a lot of things you'd compare Stranger Thingsto before Harry Potter, but Season 2 has the kind of similarities that won't escape an observant Potter fan. They're not terribly obvious references, but that's what makes them even more fun to spot and appreciate.

Hey Hopper, did you try sunlight?

"It's like I feel what the shadow monster is feeling, see what he's seeing," Will says. He can see and feel the monster alongside his own consciousness, the same way Harry can sense Voldemort’s emotions and see into his mind. But at least Harry didn't use the term "now-memories."
Speaking of Harry's connection to Voldemort, Will being host has some nasty side effects, like the beginning of episode 6 when his in agonizing pain because people from the lab tried to ignite the Mind Flayer's underground lair. He says it hurts "everywhere," but there's no physical indication of pain; the worst pain Harry experienced in the series was in book five during the battle at the Department of Mysteries:
And then Harry's scar burst open. He knew he was dead: it was pain beyond imagining, pain past endurance –He was gone from the hall, he was locked in the coils of a creature with red eyes, so tightly bound that Harry did not know where his body ended and the creature's began. They were fused together, bound by pain, and there was no escape...Blinded and dying, every part of him screaming for release, Harry felt the creature use him again...
This sounds unpleasant! But the secret, as Harry learns and Will needs to figure out, is love.

During the finale, the season's underwhelming de facto villain, the Mind Flayer, leaves Will’s body in a cloud of ominous black smoke. You know who else did that? VOLDEMORT, and he sure as hell came back. At least Will fared better than Professor Quirrell...for now anyway.
