A ‘story of the day’ involving an owl and a mobile phone has sparked Harry Potter related references and reminded internet users of Hogwarts. Chinmay Bhogle, who is the son of cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle, recently took to Twitter to share a screenshot of an Instagram post which read that an owl threw a phone onto one of his friend’s terrace. 

While Chinmay informed that the bizarre incident took place in Bangalore, the Instagram post detailed how it all happened. The caption informed that the phone was not charging and the screen was broken and hence there was no way to identify the owner of the device. Chinmay’s friend also ended the caption with a funny line which read, “We’re officially at that point where owls bomb us in the middle of the night. 2020 is seriously weird”.

With hundreds of comments, several internet users couldn’t stop themselves from reacting the incident to Harry Potter. While one Twitterati wrote, “Your friend might be a wizard or muggle. Someone was gifting that guy a phone and owl was very bad in carrying things... Ask him to wait for a letter from Hogwarts,” another added, “It was Weasley's owl I guess”. One user even jokingly said, “Well if the screen is cracked and the phone isn't charging, it's of no use to the owl now, isn't it? No wonder he threw it away”.
