Panel 1: Ron Weasley sits in front of a fireplace with a Gameboy Yellow with Pokémon Red in hand.
Ron: Harry, these muggle games are so fun!
Panel 2: Harry Potter sits across the fireplace from Ron and holds his wand and a Gameboy Red with the screen and wand pointing at Ron.
Potter: Ron, look! My Pokémon is evolving from Abra to Kadabra!
Panel 3: Harry is horrified as magic flies from his wand
