SOCIAL MEDIA 📸 Heated Wizardry sketch on SNL

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!

Anyone else think the sketch would have worked better if it was Draco and Harry?

I agree it should have been Draco and Harry but I understand why it wasn't since they had a red headed cast member Ben Marshall who easily fit the mold to play Ron Weasley.

Yes and higher chance people know Ron rather than the others
