On 23 August 2017, comedy web site Funny or Die posted an article appearing to report that Harry Potter series author J.K. Rowling had taken vengeance on a Twitter critic by buying his home. Two years ago, the article says, Rowling tweeted this, in support of refugees coming to Europe. The article includes the following, which is a real tweet posted by Rowling in September 2015: The response included here is real: She responded: The article veers into satire at this point with an entirely fabricated tweet. J.K. Rowling never responded to @lukekocura, vowing that she would own his shack within two years. Nor did she then follow up two years later, bitterly inviting @lukekocura to visit his former home. The article also includes several details about Luke Kocura, all of which are entirely fabricated for comedic effect. Despite being published on a comedy web site, the Funny or Die article appears to have fooled plenty of Twitter users.
