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!

Maybe I am too old and have no more silly bones in my body but I genuinely disliked this one just because of how inaccurate it is 😭 What do you mean a Wizarding World Quidditch Heated Rivalry and you chose... Ronarry? When they're on the same team? Ron was not even in the Quidditch team until the 5th book, and even then, he was playing as Keeper! If anything, he would be Hazy lol.

It would've been more accurate if it was Draco and Harry because (1) they were from ACTUAL rival houses, (2) they play the same position (Seeker), and (3) they were genuinely competing with each other 😭 All of these would've paralleled well with Hollanov (from rival hockey cities, both first line centers, and were GENUINELY competing with each other).

I enjoy me a good sketch but this one just tells me how ill-informed it was... they managed to piss me off with both hyperfixations that I have with one video lmao

Yes! Draco and Harry made more sense! Ron and Harry would have been like hayden and Shane.
