In a tweet that is dividing Harry Potter fans, JK Rowling has said sorry for killing off Professor Snape in the final book of the Harry Potter series.<\/p>\n
The author made the apology on the anniversary of the fictional Battle of Hogwarts, which saw many popular characters die.<\/p>\n
She’s previously said sorry for killing Fred Weasley and Remus Lupin.<\/p>\n
“This year I’d like to apologise for killing (whispers)… Snape. *runs for cover*,” she tweeted.<\/p>\n
Aware of the controversy she was about to start, she asked fans not to argue over her choice of character given Professor Snape’s long-running hatred of Harry.<\/p>\n
However her apology still sparked a lively debate on Twitter.<\/p>\n
