A Harry Potter fan has been left in hysterics after discovering that her friend has mistakenly read a fanfiction take on the Wizarding novel.
Shelley Zhang, based in the US, was contacted by her friend Chris after he became a little concerned about the plot line of what he believed to be The Order of the Phoenix, according to the Daily Mail.
In a text to Shelley, Chris says: "So Dudley dies in Harry Potter right?"

A confused Shelley explains this is not the case leading to a baffled Chris revealing that he has just come to the part in the "book" where Dudley commits suicide.
