The dark side of the magic world? Believe it or not, Harry Potter was arrested for possession of crack hard drugs - and J.K. Rowling even addressed the exciting affair.

But first, it's important to make it clear that there's nothing to fear: the perpetrator isn't the young magician the British author created and gained worldwide fame (and close to a billion dollars, but who's counting). This is a completely real man, a 52-year-old American man from Greenville, who goes by the exact same name - Harry Potter.

The police facial photo of the perpetrator, which was posted on Twitter a few days ago with the caption "I have questions...", has already amassed close to ten million views and it is likely that the numbers will only soar in the coming days.
In fact, the amusing post, about which a guitarist named Lord Brian Urso followed, went so viral that two days later Rowling herself addressed the affair. In a tweet of her own, the author wrote, "I never said it was easy to be the chosen one" — referring, of course, to the legacy of Harry Potter (literary, yes?), who was prophetically chosen to be the one to defeat the evil Lord Voldemort.

Rowling's tweet also garnered quite a few views, shares and likes, as well as amusing and cynical comments along the lines of "Harry Potter and five years on maintenance"; "At least he invested in potions class"; "Now we have a story for the third day of 'Cursed Child' [the two-part play that presents Harry Potter as an adult - D.P.] and offers for Netflix to produce an adult version of the magical saga.
