While everyone has been busy either getting pumped for the Harry Potter spin-off, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM, or bashing the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play, Comedy Central UK has re-imagined the original movies as a 90s sitcom. You can expect all of the zany action from the first two films, updated with some truly 90s-sound music, in the following video that has me convinced that Potter would have worked pretty well as a dated sitcom!
