He's one of the biggest stars ever, and he doesn't even know it!


Perhaps the biggest marker of fame today is memes: if you've been "meme-ified", you're an icon. So it's no surprise that the internet is full of Harry Potter memes. But the star of the films, and the guy who brought Harry to life, Daniel Radcliffe, had no clue what was out there when he recently went on The Tonight Show to promote his new Broadway play, The Lifespan of the Fact.

When Fallon asked Radcliffe if he could name any notable Harry Potter memes, the actor said, "Nothing that I can immediately remember. I don't seek them out," adding that, "I feel like I should be educated!" When Fallon cued up a handful, Radcliffe's reactions were nothing short of a delight.



The first was a picture of a pug in Radcliffe's iconic costume of round glasses and tie titled "Harry Pugger," to which Radcliffe said, "What's not to like? It's great! Cute pun, cute dog."

A second, which riffed off Jay-Z's iconic song "99 Problems" and was captioned, "If you're havin' Quidditch problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a snitch ain't one," made Radcliffe wax philosophical.

"You know, what's cool about that stuff is that I never—as a kid and you're just insecure at that age—I never felt cool at any point playing that character and sort of these things go like, 'No, that was cool,'" he mused. "People thought that was pretty cool!"

Aww. This is why we love him--he's one of the most relatable, down-to-earth icons out there!

On social media, people were feeling the Harry Potter love too:










And while not everyone was entirely convinced by this appearance...



There was one thing everyone could agree on:

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.

MAGA Rep's 'Quinceañera' Dig Aimed At Tejano Star Opponent Backfires Spectacularly

Several studies conducted since 2016 have noted that Republican candidates rely more on fear mongering, hate, and attack adds than their opponents, whether Democrats or third party.

Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, running for a spot on November's ballot for a seat in the House of Representatives, exploited that trend by launching attack ads against herself. Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee drew backlash for using AI deepfake videos in their attacks on Democratic candidates.
