Twitter is a mysterious place, and on Wednesday, for some mysterious reason, #HipHopHarryPotter began trending worldwide.
We tried to investigate what might have caused this sudden urge in fans to combine famous rap lyrics with Harry Potter and the results were inconclusive. Initially.

But then, the cause for this sudden movement became clear: Chris Hardwick, the host of @midnight, a talk show on Comedy Central, was behind it. It was part of a game he played with his guests on Tuesday’s episode.
