The Tonight Show is on location at Universal Studios in Orlando, and Jimmy Fallon and sidekick Higgens took the occasion to visit the theme park's new Harry Potter portion, a recreation of Diagon Alley, to shop for magic wands at Ollivander's Wand Shop. It's pretty clear, once they are inside, what the running gag will be. The mixing of adult humor and children's lit is a little awkward at times, but still pretty amusing. The jokes aren't subtle, but they're safe enough for work. --Peter Weber
