"The breakout success of HBO's gay hockey series Heated Rivalry inspired this week's SNL to reimagine the upcoming Harry Potter reboot with a far sultrier premise for its two male leads, "because the only thing hotter than hockey is Quidditch." Episode host Finn Wolfhard plays Harry, Ben Marshall co-stars as his lover Ron Weasley, and Jason Momoa even pops up as Hagrid in a generally hilarious sketch that will no doubt have J.K. Rowling fuming."
"Episode host Finn Wolfhard plays Harry, Ben Marshall co-stars as his lover Ron Weasley, and Jason Momoa even pops up as Hagrid in a generally hilarious sketch that will no doubt have J.K. Rowling fuming."
SNL staged a parody that casts the upcoming Harry Potter reboot as a decidedly sultrier romance between its two male leads. The sketch drew creative inspiration from HBO's gay hockey series Heated Rivalry and leaned into sexualized humor by claiming the only thing hotter than hockey is Quidditch. Finn Wolfhard portrayed Harry, Ben Marshall played Ron as his romantic partner, and Jason Momoa appeared as Hagrid. The sketch used celebrity casting and broad comedic choices to amplify absurdity. The portrayal was received as generally hilarious and expected to provoke J.K. Rowling.
