UPDATING THE RECORD: JK Rowling Tweets Dementors Actually Metaphor For Bad Oyster Soup She Had Once

Fans are outraged.

Fans of the Harry Potter series woke up to a shocking set of tweets this morning wherein author J.K. Rowling admitted that the dementors--the fictional guards of wizard prison, Azkaban, that feed on human happiness and can extract souls--are actually a metaphor for a bad oyster soup Rowling had once at a Red Lobster.

Rowling then tweeted a series of pictures including several bowls, oysters, and one image of a Red Lobster on fire, all of which were later deleted.
