Daniel Radcliffe forced to deny coronavirus rumours after fake Twitter account claimed he tested positive

Daniel Radcliffe has a new title to add to his biography.  Not only is he a beloved Harry Potter star and longtime actor, but he also unexpectedly became the first celebrity to become a coronavirus Twitter hoax.

As the ancient proverb dictates, no international pandemic is complete without an accompanying celebrity hoax. In the case of our current global crisis, that honor was bestowed upon Daniel Radcliffe. In mid-March, a Twitter account with the handle @BBCNewsTonight reported that the actor had contracted coronavirus, making him “the first famous person to be publicly confirmed.”

While most of our friends use Harry Potter references such as Wingardium Leviosa, Dobby the elf, mudbloods, Alohomora, Lord Voldemort and more, the other chunk that comprises only 10% is clueless looking at each other. The Potter Heads might tease them calling them mudbloods, a term used for commoners in the iconic Harry Potter series which takes you to the world of wizards and witches and merges the line between reality and fantasy.
