Oh no! Are you a parent to a child who constantly cast a killing curse on you? Well, worry no more because "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling is here to save the day!
A Las Vegas-based mother contacted author J.K. Rowling on Twitter to ask for some parenting advice on Friday, April 15. According to Mashable Asia, the dilemma of the mother was her son's use of the infamous "Harry Potter" killing curse, "Avada Kedavra."
"@jk_rowling My son's using 'Avada Kedavra' on me instead of saying 'i hate you.' Makes me wish there were more killing curses. #HarryPotter," the mom tweeted.
Since the mother's concern was in reference to her wizardry novels, J.K. Rowling also gave a "Harry Potter"-themed parenting advice. On Monday, the 50-year-old author responded the perfect solution to her problem was doing the "Dobby eyes," Radio Times notes.
Tell him your love would protect him from that curse. Do Dobby eyes as you say it. Should scar(e) him out of it. https://t.co/FoQZ3atf0h
