SNL mocks J.K. Rowling over trans rights views after Emma Watson drama

“Saturday Night Live” went after J.K.Rowling.The Season 51 premiere hosted by Bad Bunny featured a “Weekend Update” segment where Bowen Yang played Dobby the House Elf to mock the “Harry Potter” author, 60, for her controversial views on the transgender community.Yang’s Dobby joined Michael Che and Colin Jost at the table and nervously explained that his “Master” told him to go on television “and define once and for all what a woman is.”When Yang’s Dobby confirmed that his “Master” is Rowling, he banged his head on the table and yelled, “Oh, no, Dobby wasn’t supposed to say! Bad Dobby, bad Dobby, bad Dobby.”Yang’s Dobby suffered a wadrobe malfunction in the process, but he laughed it off and said, “Oh, Dobby’s come undone.

I’m sorry! My fatigues are not well-made!”“Master Rowling has done so much for Dobby and for inclusion in general,” Yang’s spoof character continued.“Remember when Dumbledore was gay after the books came out, and when Hermione was Black only on Broadway! And when Cho Chang was… was Cho Chang Asian? Dobby can’t remember if the character named ‘Cho Chang’ was Asian or not.”Yang’s Dobby referred to himself as “Millennial cringe” and then ran towards the audience and smacked his head against the camera multiple times.“Dobby, why do you keep hurting yourself?” Che, 42, asked.“Why? Dobby doesn’t know,” Yang’s Dobby said.

“Perhaps because house elves are somehow always the problem, even though we’re only 1% of the population, but house elves aren’t the victims.Master Rowling is.

She gets so much hate mail.”Yang’s Dobby pulled out a shirt with an image of Rowling that says, “They.K Rowling.” Jost, 43, then told Yang’s Dobby that he’s read the books and he’s “now freed,” which Yang’s Dobby celebrated.
