The Duffers definitely had a laugh about this one. If you think about it, the Wizarding World is essentially another dimension that is accessible through "gates" on Earth... hmm.
On a real note though, I do think it's possible this was a reference to Harry Potter, and the scene in Season 1 where Nancy is in the Upside Down and sees the demogorgon eating the deer in the woods was super reminiscent of Voldemort feeding on the unicorn in the first Harry Potter movie. ST takes inspiration from other 90's concepts such as Jurassic Park, so it's not unrealistic that they took inspo from Harry Potter too!

Might take a little inspiration, but they are completely different people to the dursleys.

But remember, Mr Holland is still waiting for a check to compensate his daughter's death, but Mr Dursley is still glad there's no post on Sunday.
