It’s obviously hilarious. But there’s something equally important that contributed to the virality of his videos - the fact that more than half a billion people know about Harry Potter.

Everything else doesn’t matter. The props? A wand, scotch tape, and a bald wig cap. The setting? A plain, modern flat. As low-budget as it gets.
