Black Snape Calls Harry Potter a Racist Proud Boy

Kam Patterson played Professor Snape from “Harry Potter” during “Weekend Update” on “Saturday Night Live.”

Patterson’s casting as Snape is a reference to HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series, in which the previously white character is being played by Black actor Paapa Essiedu.

After being introduced by Colin Jost, Patterson’s Snape began by speaking overly formally, saying “Good evening, Mr. Jost — nah, I’m playing. I don’t talk like that, bro. It’s called code-switching. Codio switchio!”

When Jost asked how his year at Hogwarts had gone, Snape said, “Not great. We got this new kid. His name is Harry potter, and he’s racist as hell. Harry Potter — or, the Proud Boy Who Lived — spent the whole year telling everybody that the school’s only Black teacher was secretly evil.”

Jost said, “I think he’s just worried because he knows someone’s trying to steal the Sorcerer’s Stone.” “So somebody stole something, and the number one suspect is Black Snape? They didn’t even look at the white guy in the turban. So offensive. He’s got a wizard on the back of his head,” Snape said, referencing how the villain Voldemort appears on the back of Professor Quirrell’s head at the end of the first installation of “Harry Potter.”
