Wizarding Parental Pop Quizzes

This Tonight Show Segment Shows One Harry Potter Fail After Another

— June 23, 2014 — Pop Culture
In an epic Harry Potter fail video, a writer from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon tests parents with basic Harry Potter trivia in honor of Universal Studio's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In a head-shakingly hilarious new segment of Mom & Pop Quiz, Jimmy Fallon's staff asks parents questions, but their kids can't help them out.

From the shape of Harry's scar to his best friend, these parents make one ridiculous Harry Potter fail after another. The children's reactions are also included, which is more often than not face-palming and embarrassed laughter.

Even though the Harry Potter series and movie adaptations are geared towards youth, it is shocking how little the parents know considering the franchise's enormous popularity. Regardless of whether they can name the sport played on broomsticks, these parents at least get house points for trying.
