There's An Apparate For That

Yes, Indeed, Daniel Radcliffe Played Harry Potter on Saturday Night Live Last Night! Watch It Here! [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 6:02 pm, January 15th, 2012


Daniel Radcliffe, who can now officially be known for movies and things other than Harry Potter, did all of his most rabid fans a big favor by doing more than just mentioning the franchise that made him famous. He did a whole sketch in which he played the boy wizard (who, in the sketch, is no longer a boy), and he even talked about it in the monologue. So, after the jump, see what kind of magic Daniel Radcliffe performed for us as Harry and others (and don’t worry, neither of Lana Del Rey‘s sleepy, nerve-filled performances are in this post).

First, the monologue. Didn’t exactly bring the house down, but it’s fun to see Radcliffe out of character and psyched about things other than Harry Potter while being pretty much forced into talking about Harry Potter.

Without any further adieu, here is the Harry Potter sketch, the Harry Potter Epilogue. Slow clap for Bill Hader‘s Alan Rickman impression.

But I thought it would be fair to include non-Potter-related sketches, too. Like this look at the present day from the future’s perspective, 2112.

And a statement on the YouTube generation, a talk show called “You Can Do Anything” — it’s funny because it’s true!

He went to a school with no grades!!!

    What did everyone think of the skit Radcliffe had with Jay Pharoah?  The really really painful one where Jay was the host who just did impressions of other famous black people and didn’t know anything about Harry Potter?  I’m torn between thinking it was just horribly written, racist, or quite possibly both.

    I’m hoping it was a self-aware commentary on the fact that SNL has no f*cking clue what to do with Pharoah besides shoving him into sketches to do one of three impressions (Denzel, Will Smith, Chris Rock…)…

    Wow, the last sketch was a great example of the weird passive-aggressive scorn people involved in television and movies have for YouTube and internet video as an entertainment source…

    The funny thing about it to me was that they may as well have been talking about themselves. ‘Unearned confidence’ and people being mediocre but not realizing it? What better description for SNL itself?

    That’s what I was taking it as too, but it was so difficult to watch!

    i loved the fact that Daniel used the cue cards less than anyone else on camera.

    Apparently he can also be called “The Boy Who Learned His Lines”.

    Considering that most African-American comedians on SNL get stuck doing the same tired schtick since the beginning of the series I don’t think I can be so generous.

    How to succeed in business without *really* trying? Be Daniel Radcliff.

    :( I can’t watch it. It won’t play in my area.

    You can’t separate inside Hogwarts.

    Somebody had to say it.

    Le sigh. I know just how you feel…
