Harry Potter not blamed for September 11 yet

Terrorism experts today confirmed that the popular Harry Potter fantasy novels by J.K. Rowling are not currently under suspicion for causing the tragic events of September 11. The novels, in which a boy discovers that he is a talented wizard, have not yet been accused of hijacking jumbo jets or piloting them into office buildings.

Vegetables are also generally thought to be unrelated to the tragedy. However, President* Bush, prompted by urgings from his father, has directed the FBI to investigate whether broccoli was served on any of the flights in question. When asked to comment, the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover said only \”For the last time, no, I will NOT declassify Victoria\’s Secret.\”
