In a recent episode of *Saturday Night Live* (SNL), a parody sketch titled *Heated Wizardry* reimagined the beloved *Harry Potter* franchise through a comedic lens, featuring a romantic twist between Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. The sketch, hosted by Finn Wolfhard, who played Harry, humorously depicted their competitive friendship evolving into a secret romance, with moments that included a Quidditch match that emphasized emotional tension rather than sport. Daniel Radcliffe, the original Harry Potter actor, expressed his delight at the sketch, stating, "I found it very funny and sweet," and noted that he was informed about the sketch by Wolfhard a day before it aired, saying, "Weirdly, I had met Finn Wolfhard a few weeks before... and he texted me... ‘Hey, just so you know, we’re doing a Harry Potter sketch.'" This sketch aired on January 17, 2026, and has since generated considerable buzz among fans, showcasing SNL's ability to creatively reinterpret iconic franchises.
