Man discovers Harry Potter book he is reading is actually adult fan fiction

A woman in the US has had to break the news to her friend, an incredibly late-comer to Harry Potter, that he had been reading a bizarre adult fan fiction version of Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix instead of the real deal.

In a series of tweets, Shelley Zhang shared the story about her pal Chris Chappel, who had come to her to confirm whether or not the murder of Harry’s cousin Dudley had actually happened.

Some stuff that wasn't quite true, but wasn't…exactly not true? Also, LOL at Harry getting all muscled from running. Very detailed. pic.twitter.com/oJyqXO2tKS

Honestly "Yes in hindsight it's so clear" is my new quote of the year. Your friend is king/queen of accidental reading of fanfics.

I'm not a fanfic person in general, but HP fandom really freaked me out when I learned there was Draco/Lucius fanfic. I mean, no. Just no.

While we must take every iPhone screenshot tweet we read with a pinch of salt, we really do hope this one is true.
