"Minneapolis bridge collapse,"

That sound anything familiar to you?

Well, what about:

"The bridge was less than ten years old, and the best experts were at a loss to explain why it had snapped cleanly into two, sending a dozen cars into the watery depths of the river below."

Exactly. The Minneapolis bridge snapping sounds exactly the same as what happened in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Quite obviously, the Muggle Minister has got to be answerable, in a sense, to these strange sightings.

J. K. Rowling has got to be a descendant of Cassandra Trelawney.
