Borowitz: Harry Potter Fan Kills Self after Hearing Spoiler

Humorist Andy Borowitz offers a Harry Potter-related column this week about Jude Ralston, 32, Hudson, Ohio, who committed suicide after overhearing a Harry Potter spoiler.

“When Jude got that vanity license plate that said ‘Hogwarts,’ that seemed harmless enough,” said Polly Clovis, who attended Model U.N. with Mr. Ralston while the two were in high school. “But when he started wearing that wizard hat around town, we really should have seen that as a cry for help.”
