Radcliffe got SNL spoiler from Stranger Things star

Summary
- Daniel Radcliffe received a preview of an SNL sketch from Finn Wolfhard.
- The sketch humorously merged Harry Potter with the series Heated Rivalry.
- Radcliffe is currently starring in a new NBC comedy series.
Daniel Radcliffe recently shared that Finn Wolfhard provided him with a heads-up about a "Saturday Night Live" sketch. The sketch, titled "Heated Wizardry," was a humorous mashup of Harry Potter and the popular series "Heated Rivalry."
Wolfhard, who hosted SNL last month, had met Radcliffe a few weeks prior. He later texted Radcliffe to inform him about the upcoming sketch, which featured Wolfhard portraying a version of Radcliffe's Harry Potter character who develops a romantic interest in Ron Weasley, reimagined as Quidditch players instead of hockey players.
Radcliffe, while not having seen "Heated Rivalry" initially, is aware of its success. He found the SNL spoof amusing and sweet, expressing his openness to seeing different interpretations of the franchise. He also reflected on his enduring association with Harry Potter, stating he is comfortable with it and that it can encourage audiences to explore his other projects.
Looking ahead, Radcliffe is set to star in NBC's new comedy series, "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins," opposite Tracy Morgan. In this role, he plays a disgraced filmmaker seeking redemption, portraying a character who engages in actions far more questionable than his previous roles. The series is scheduled to premiere on January 18.
