Vecna is the new big baddie of Stranger Things but his connection to the Harry Potter franchise is more than just his appearance.

The &#8216;Harry Potter&#8217; Connection of Vecna in &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Is Not Just the Nose

There probably hasn’t been a villain that was as feared as Voldemort. There have
been other huge villains with genocide on their minds, but no one even comes
close to scaring people and giving us nightmares as Voldemort did. So when
people first just saw the images of Vecna in Stranger Things 4, it gave them
goosebumps almost immediately. Vecna reminded us of all the fear and horror
Voldemort gave us for years. The reason for such alarming similarity was their
appearance: Vecna, too like Voldemort, had a horrifying nose or did not have
one.

But as the cards of destiny play out, their similar noses is not the only thing
that connects the two of the most popular franchise in the world. Find out how
Vecna is connected to the Harry Potter universe below.


HOW VECNA FROM STRANGER THINGS LINKS TO HARRY POTTER?

The Harry Potter series had one of the most illustrious casts in the history of
cinema. Not only did the franchise give the world huge stars like Daniel
Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, but also included stars in smaller
roles that created great careers for themselves, like Harry Melling as Dudley
Dursley.

One such actor who had a split second role in the first Deathly Hallow film was
Jamie Campbell. Jamie played a young Gellert Grindelwald in the film. He even
reprised his role in the Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald. And
fortunately, Jamie is also the actor who portrays Vecna in Stranger Things 4.

Even though he had a blink-it-and-you-will-miss-it type of role, the connection
of Grindelwald with Vecna is something that certainly excites fans of both the
series.
