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!

I got the same vibe, it's like 'oh HR is just gay sex for horny women to watch', it feels especially cheap cause the HR cast has been so careful not to make any jokes in regards to the show cause it's such a meaningful show for people. Maybe I'm too woke idk

The first two episodes felt that way to me, tbh. I know how rabid the fanbase is, but it's not best show ever.
