New Delhi: Tuesday was a tough day for Potterheads. With one tweet, author JK Rowling apologised for killing off Professor Severus Snape in the final book of the Harry Potter series. Her apology comes on the anniversary of the fictional Battle of Hogwarts, which saw many popular characters die. In the last two years, she has apologised for killing off the characters of Fred Weasley and Remus Lupin - making it a tradition of sorts. Seemingly aware of the Great Twitter Debate she was about to spark, the author urged fans not to argue over her choice of character, given Professor Snape's long and complicated history with Harry.
The apology sparked strong reactions among Potterheads. The controversial character was portrayed on the big screen by the late (and great) Alan Rickman.
Some were understanding:
Others thought he had it coming:
Some clearly still weren't over it:
Others just had jokes:
Earlier in the day, a fan took to the micro-blogging site wondering out loud whether the author had "already apologised for another death." Take a look at her hilarious reaction:
Meanwhile, this tweet gave fans a lot of hope:
