In an appearance Tuesday on _The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon_, the boy who lived became the man who rapped, with an incredible interpretation of Blackalicious’ Alphabet Aerobics. By any measure an extremely difficult rap to repeat, Alphabet Aerobics employs a heavy dose of mouth-numbing consonance as it wends its way through each letter of the alphabet. But Radcliffe proved himself a wizard on the mic, barely dropping a syllable. As impressive as Radcliffe’s performance is, the most enjoyable part of the video might just be Fallon’s exuberant head bobbing, especially by the letter “S”. A scintillating spectacle, stunning spectators, especially the show’s sign-squeezing emcee? Radcliffe and Blackalicious can take it from there. ### PHOTOS: See the Harry Potter Theme Park Gringotts-Themed Ride  Universal Orlando  Universal Orlando  Universal Orlando  Universal Orlando  Universal Orlando  Universal Orlando _Read next:_ [_Alan Rickman Played an Epic Prank on Daniel Radcliffe While Filming Harry Potter_](http://time.com/3543864/daniel-radcliffe-harry-potter-snape-prank/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3545579/daniel-radcliffe-alphabet-aerobics-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3545579/daniel-radcliffe-alphabet-aerobics-fallon/"},"headline":"Watch Daniel Radcliffe Rap 'Alphabet Aerobics' with Jimmy Fallon","datePublished":"2014-10-29T12:41:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:48:21.232Z","description":"He's a wizard on the mic","url":"https://time.com/3545579/daniel-radcliffe-alphabet-aerobics-fallon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","The Tonight Show","daniel radcliffe"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4e070bf95a31102d/6987631c0b72e3f2396db46b/daniel-radcliffe-jimmy-fallon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4e070bf95a31102d/6987631c0b72e3f2396db46b/daniel-radcliffe-jimmy-fallon.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Daniel Radcliffe","caption":"Actor Daniel Radcliffe during an interview with host Jimmy Fallon on Oct. 28, 2014","creditText":"Douglas Gorenstein—NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3545579/daniel-radcliffe-alphabet-aerobics-fallon/","name":"Watch Daniel Radcliffe Rap 'Alphabet Aerobics' with Jimmy Fallon"}}]}] ```
