The PopBase post you're linking to (from January 18, 2026) shares a clip from a recent Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch called "Heated Wizardry".
It's a parody that mashes up:
- The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series adaptation
- The hugely popular queer hockey romance series Heated Rivalry (which became a big cultural hit and got people talking about rivals-to-lovers tropes)
- Host Finn Wolfhard plays Harry Potter.
- Ben Marshall plays Ron Weasley.
- The fake trailer pretends the Harry Potter show was "hastily rewritten" after Heated Rivalry's success, turning it into a steamy, gay romance between Harry and Ron instead of the usual story.
- It features lots of innuendo (wand jokes, broomstick teasing, naked Quidditch scenes, hiding under the Invisibility Cloak, etc.).
- Jason Momoa makes a surprise cameo as Hagrid, delivering the line: “You’re a homo, Harry.”
- There's a cheeky on-screen note from J.K. Rowling saying “I am not a part of this,” and it jokes that the show was “written entirely by girls who wear tails.”
- Everyone is explicitly 18+ and Hogwarts is treated like college to avoid any age issues.
- Many people found it hilarious and said the cast "ate" the bit (especially the Ron/Harry "Ronarry" chemistry).
- Some loved the absurdity and Jason Momoa's Hagrid.
- Others pointed out the irony of using a franchise from an author known for anti-trans views to tell a queer romance story.
