Similar, yes.
For added comedy value, they could wear masks.

You should pitch that to the BBC.

I could see Channel 5 snapping it up.

Channel 5 probably would.
But they would want nudity and car chases involved. I'm not removing my monkey's dignity.

I would.
But the BBC is run by Guardian reading lefties. It wouldn't get past pre-production.

Y'know in Harry Potter how the ginger family were really poor?
Why didn't they just magic themselves some nicer stuff?

They couldn't have been that poor.
They sent Ron to private school.

I think it appeared in the last book
there are some things that apparently the laws of the universe forbid- like creating something out of nothing including food, money etc.

Plus wizards must be fantastic at detecting fakes

yeah I figured there was something like that with the money thing
but I seem to recall them having self-refilling drinks. However, I suppose the drink would be transferred from somewhere else, rather than magicked out of thin air.

I am satisfied, thanks Amberl. NO thanks to The Miserable Badger

I was actually going to answer "properly" (ie with reference to the books)
but then I realised that would be cosmically sad, so didn't
