If you have any doubt that Potter fans can come back at you with some pretty legit wizarding insults, this story will take care of that.
That’s exactly why J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to help out parents whose kids are using the Unforgivable Curses (*gasp!*) against them.
One mum in Las Vegas who goes by “Somebody’s Mother” tweeted at the Harry Potter author about her plight — her son is saying “Avada Kedavra” at her when he’s mad.
@jk_rowling My son's using "Avada Kedavra" on me instead of saying "i hate you." Makes me wish there were more killing curses. #HarryPotter

Yeesh, that’s dangerous! (“Avada Kedavra” is the killing curse that kills a person instantly!)
And it seems this mum isn't alone.
Since her tweet started doing the rounds, strings of other mothers have come forward saying their kids do the same thing to them.
But as always, J.K. Rowling came to the rescue with a solution.
Tell him your love would protect him from that curse. Do Dobby eyes as you say it. Should scar(e) him out of it. https://t.co/FoQZ3atf0h

"Tell him your love would protect him from that curse," she tweeted back at the original poster. "Do Dobby eyes as you say it."
And, of course, she couldn’t resist delivering a Harry Potter pun, too: “Should scar(e) him out of it.” LOL.
Is there anything J.K. can't do? We love her!
