Author J.K. Rowling has apologised for killing off ‘Harry Potter’ character Fred Weasley in the the seventh and final novel of the book series ‘Deathly Hallows’. Rowling delivered a heartfelt apology via Twitter to all fans of the series, on May 2 which marked the 17th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, reported Ace Showbiz.

“Today I would just like to say: I’m really sorry about Fred. *Bows head in acceptance of your reasonable ire*.”

When a fan named Brieuc Toudic asked her, “What about Tonks, Lupin ?” she replied, “I thought I might apologise for one death per anniversary. Fred was the worst for me, so I started with him.”

Rowling is currently working on the script for “Harry Potter” spin-off “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” which is scheduled to be released in the US on November 18, 2016.
