Here is why ‘Who did Sabrina Carpenter play in Harry Potter?’ is trending
Fans have found an old clip from Sabrina Carpenter’s appearance on Wired‘s Web’s Most Searched Questions that has gone viral now. During the interview, she came across a query: Who did Sabrina Carpenter play in Harry Potter? It is then that she discovers that fans have been searching about her Harry Potter role.
While the singer did not play any role in the franchise, it seems she did not want to let go of the moment without providing a humorous answer. So, Carpenter quipped, “I was Ron. So, it was a great experience, and I, like, grew up on the set.”
After declaring that she is a “huge Potterhead,” the “Espresso” crooner also recalled her treasured moments spent in Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Florida. Carpenter shared that she went into the room where a wand is chosen for the visitors.
She gushed that it was a “big moment. That wand was chosen for me, and then I brought it home,” and jokingly added, “Now I cast spells on everybody. It’s great.” From Carpenter’s answer, fans assumed that the singer got Ron’s wand.
However, the reason why people started searching for her role in Harry Potter in the first place remains unknown. It could be because of her resemblance to Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the movies.
But social media followers praised Carpenter’s humor, with one fan commenting on YouTube, “The way she said, ‘I was Ron’ with no hesitation, I love her.” Another added, “She is so unintentionally funny.”
Moreover, fans also recalled that Carpenter worked on a film with Harry Potter’s lead actor, Daniel Radcliffe. The duo acted in the 2013 film Horns. In the movie, the singer portrays the role of young Merrin in flashback scenes.
