The Wizarding World of Rap
Magical Rhymes: Third Floor, Hogwarts.
When Harry Potter, Hermione and Ron weren’t casting spells and saving Hogwarts from a myriad of evil spirits and forces, they were students in the world’s most exclusive school for wizards and magic. And as pupils, they learned a variety of skills that guided them through the best and worst of times. Unfortunately, one of these pivotal class sessions never saw the light of day in any of the eight Harry Potter major motion pictures.
Fortunately, Jimmy Fallon has a way of getting actors to admit secret skills on The Tonight Show that results in pure awesomeness. It’s just the ABC’s…

Happy Opposite Day/Week!
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday
“Wait, Friday night was once a big night for TV?”
The following video clip is a primary example of what Throwback Thursday is all about in the year 2014:
When a golden night of television existed all on one network. Well, good things have a tendency to come back around. Girl Meets World currently airs on The Disney Channel on Friday nights. By season 2 or 3, could it return to ABC on Friday night with a couple family sitcom friends? A reboot of Full House is rumored to be gaining steam with many of the original cast members, with the charge led by John Stamos.
Let’s be clear: when a show has a character named Topanga, anything is possible…
