On 6 January 2017, the satirical web site ClickHole, an offshoot of The Onion created to mock clickbait and viral content, posted a story reporting that the author and creator of the widely popular Harry Potter series had revealed that Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who portrayed the boy wizard in film versions of her books, is not English but Chinese: As proof, the web site included a series of fake tweets by Rowling, allegedly made on 6 January 2017: The tweets don't appear on the author's authentic Twitter timeline, and according to available biographical information, Radcliffe was born in London, and neither of his parents is of Chinese descent. ClickHole, like its sister site The Onion, is an openly satirical web site. Here's how ClickHole describes their content on the site's About us page: Some of the headlines on ClickHole's front page as of 6 January 2017 included Passing The Torch: Watch This Father Give His Daughter His Panini Before Walking Into the Forest Forever and One Day I Will Understand Basketball (by Jack Nicholson).
