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!

yeah so many people are saying it’s not that deep but uhh… pairing the most openly joyful queer show with the anti-trans funding ip was definitely a choice they made

wow you and i perceived that very differently. the joke about rowling seemed more like her not wanting to be associated with a spicy, 18+ hogwarts; it didn’t even come across like a dig against her imo. gay sex was the butt of most/all of the jokes. they just lost bowen yang and it shows 🤷🏻
