A new Harry Potter fan theory has taken the internet by storm. It raises questions on the origins of the lightning scar, which, according to the books, Potter obtained after the dreaded Avada Kedavra killing curse rebounded on the dark lord Voldemort. Now, a tweet by the user @todayyearsold has put that theory to the test: "Did you know Harry Potter’s scar isn’t a lightning bolt, but actually the hand motion to cast Avada Kedavra," he wrote.

This riled up Potterheads across the world, now clamouring for a response from their beloved creator J.K. Rowling.
This just blew my mind! I just took it that #Harrypotter’s scare is a lightening bolt and not the wand motion to cast the Avada Kedavra curse! Going to have to watch the @HarryPotterFilm again ☺️ 🧙♂️ https://t.co/Np97uj1yuj

Many crazy, far-fetched fan theories have hit Potterverse in the past two months. There were arguments that Malfoy was a werewolf, Snape was a vampire, that Nagini was Voldemort's mother, and that Ron Weasley was a time-travelling Dumbledore. Which ones are true? Only time and Rowling can say.
