Muggle science teacher blames J.K. Rowling for this magic-inspired mistake
Is there such a thing as too much Harry Potter?
SEE ALSO: J.K. Rowling has some heartfelt, uplifting advice for budding writers
Science teacher Neil Baker asserted that there is when he tweeted this picture to J.K. Rowling.

In the image of a science exam, a student answered a biology prompt with a Harry Potter inspired misspelling. The student wrote the word "disaperates," which (when spelled correctly) is the magical ability to transport oneself anywhere in a matter of seconds.
Baker circled the word and wrote the comment: "You've been reading too much Harry Potter! Evaporates!"
J.K. Rowling retweeted the hilarious vocabulary error, which gave fans a good laugh.
@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling I keep telling people I can't believe I got my Hogwarts letter. They keep reminding me it's 'Harvard', not 'Hogwarts'. Talk about too much.

@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling A few days ago, an application on my computer at work just refused to open. I nearly pointed my pen at the screen and said Alohomora..

@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling I loved this one, though😉 Kindly pardon me Mr Baker, but there's no such thing as "too much #HarryPotter" !

@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling As mistakes go, I'd be pretty proud of this one

@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling There is never too much Harry Potter- my kid just completed a college course : "The Ethics of Harry Potter" ( and it wasn't easy)

@NeilBaker1980 @jk_rowling The teacher was incorrect about one thing: there's no such thing as "too much" Harry Potter! 🦉⚡️✨🔮🐉

Sure, students need to stick to muggle terminology when answering muggle science questions. But to suggest that there is such thing as too much Harry Potter is as incorrect as that student's answer.
