Fondly remembered (by teens on Twitter with nothing better to do).

Yesterday, 2oceansVibe reported how Harry Potter auteur, JK Rowling was a mere PMS cramp away from killing off everyone’s favourite magic ginger, Ron Weasley, early on during her decade-long scribing of the multi-million edition selling saga. Not cool, JK!

Just when you thought the stench of death had finally lifted from the series, today it emerges that certain parts of Twitter (read: spotty teens on Tumblr…) were getting their eye-liner all smeared up the past few days regarding the fictional 30th anniversary of the slaying of teen wizard Harry’s fictional parents, Ginge Mom and Specs, or whatever they’re called. (James and Lily you cretin! -Ed)

Yesterday, the topic #RIPJamesandLilyPotter was still trending heavily in the UK ans US particularly, attached to such grand sentiments as:

Thirty years ago Lily and James Potter gave their lives so their son could live on, they were true Gryffindors!

As well as slightly more macabre reflections, such as:

In a way I’m glad you died, how boring would the books be if you hadn’t?

Quite.

To clarify, somewhere in the books, it’s stated that Harry’s parents were zapped by Voldemort on 31 October 1981. Three days after the faux-nniversary, it appears their Twitter fans still can’t let it go. Here’s a hashtag for you, kids! #facepalm
