Wow. Upsetting.
She might be kidding… she got into a spat with an angry Twitter user earlier in the day and age “666” came up.
Nicolas Flamel doesn't die in the Potter books. Seriously, read before you burn, it'll make attacking me so much easier. pic.twitter.com/cU8AOMS21F

But you know what? This isn’t a game, Jo. We take the deaths of Harry Potter characters seriously. The age he died at is now going to appear at the Harry Potter Wiki and a billion other places, so this better be true.
RIP Kreacher. You were a good guy deep down… maybe.
