The Roots perform ‘Harry Potter’ rap on ‘Tonight Show’

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” has been in Orlando this week, broadcasting from Universal Studios to promote the expansion of its Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Fallon has used the opportunity to incorporate the JK Rowling mythology into his comedy act, with a sketch on Monday’s show about wand shopping in Diagon Alley full of double entendres on “wand length.”

On Wednesday night, the “Tonight Show” was at it again with house band The Roots performing a Harry Potter-themed rap, where Tariq — apparently a big Harry Potter fan — incorporated rhymes for extendable ears and butterbeer, Dumbledore and Voldemort, and many other call-outs to the books.
