Every Harry Potter Reference In The Simpsons Ranked

10. Sinful Magic

Harry Potter The Simpsons
Fox

Season 12 saw The Simpsons make its first ever Harry Potter reference, and it actually came several months before the release of the first movie. Instead of referencing Daniel Radcliffe's boy who lived, this episode featured a hilarious nod to the books, thanks to Ned Flanders.

The Simpsons' religious neighbour is reading a Harry Potter book to his son Todd, only he decides to edit it slightly based on his beliefs. At the very end of the book, Ned reads that the titular character and all his friends went straight to hell for practicing witchcraft.

He then throws the book on the fire to the cheers of his young, impressionable son.
