[I]“Ms. Clovis said that she hoped Mr. Ralston's death would cause federal authorities to tighten the flow of Harry Potter plot information to prevent similar tragedies from taking place.â€

yeah... I guessed that reral fast and when I saw this at the bottom of the page

"Andy Borowitz writes a daily humor column at www.borowitzreport.com and is the author of a new book, The Borowitz Report: The Big Book of Shockers."

I knew for sure....
He also recently did an article suggesting that maybe they should send reporters to Guantanimo-- as inmates.

Pretty weird sense of humor
