  "account": "Ariana Grande has returned with yet another collection of Harry Potter impressions, this time focusing on the more challenging roles such as Draco Malfoy, Professor McGonagall, Argus Filch, Luna Lovegood, and others. In a TikTok posted from her beauty brand, R.E.M. Beauty, the pop star showcases her vocal abilities while promoting her plumping lipgloss. In addition to the iconic characters from the wizarding world, Grande also imitated house elf Kreacher's raspy groans and Ministry of Magic official Dolores Umbridge's unsettling high-pitched laugh. She jokingly declared herself as the Sorting Hat's voice during her interpretation of the iconic bellow in the movies.\n\nThis new video adds to a previous R.E.M. clip from July, in which Grande attempted her first round of Harry Potter impressions, including Ron Weasley, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Hermione Granger. The latest video comes after Grande secured her seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Petal, which was released on July 31 and includes the Billboard Hot 100-leading single \"Hate That I Made You Love Me.\" Currently, she is in the midst of a tour supporting her full-length album Eternal Sunshine, though she announced that she will be taking a hiatus from public-facing work and appearances following the tour's conclusion in early September.",
