  • An image purportedly showing a strange creature that was terrorizing local residents as it roamed the streets of a small village in Argentina popped up on various conspiracy web sites and YouTube channels in early April 2018: Although this image was initially confined to web sites dedicated to aliens, UFOs and other unexplained mysteries, it also received coverage from more mainstream outlets such as The Mirror, where it was presented as if it were a genuine news item:\ The pictured creature is not terrorizing a neighborhood in Argentina, nor did it slaughter any pet dogs. Why? Because this demon is fictional, existing only within the fantasy universe of the Harry Potter series of books. This image was created by manipulating a piece of concept art for Remus Lupin, a professor afflicted by Lycanthropy, as depicted in the work Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The image is available via the Pottermore web site, which also offers more backstory about the werewolf professor: Here's a comparison of the Harry Potter concept art and the mysterious creature supposedly roaming Argentina (with the concept art flipped for a better comparison): (en)
