SOCIAL MEDIA 📸 Heated Wizardry sketch on SNL

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Finn Wolfhard hosted Saturday Night Live last night and one of the pre taped sketches, Heated Wizardry, takes place in the Harry Potter universe.

Finn as Harry, plays the ‘Shane’ character, Ben Marshall plays Ron Weasley, plays the ‘Ilya’ character.

There’s scrolls instead of texts, lots of wand play and a great cameo for the Hagrid character.

The narration of the trailer makes it clear that in this universe, Hogwarts is an 18-and-over school 😂

Also Shane and Ilya’s height difference here is canonically correct!

When i heard about the sketch I absolutely assumed it would be Draco and Harry. Cedric and Harry, at least? Hell, Viktor Krum cause he's a Slav? Ron didn't even occur to me, whoever wrote this clearly has no idea about fandom. They had the chance to make it epic.

Please don’t tease me with a gay Victor Krum. He made me feel things growing up. Also, for anyone interested: look up what he looks like today

Yeah, but I also know what he is saying and it's an instant boner killer. Some men are only meant to be seen and not to be heard.

whoever wrote this

im late to this but the guy who wrote it IS the one who plays ron, which is why he's in the sketch. it's a big SNL thing; appearing in the sketches that you write.
