HARRY POTTER COMES TO BASEBALL
LONDON, ENGLAND - In a stunning move, JK Rowling bought the Detroit Tigers today. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, jumped in to buy the team, after signing a deal with Paramount to make a new movie, "Harry Potter goes to the Majors", a touching story of how the boy wizard goes from the field of quidditch to the catherdals of Yankee Stadium.

"I felt like it would be better to reach out to America's children by bringing this team to my nation and showing our boys and girls the game of America", she said after purchasing the team.

A deal to buy the team by a different media mogul, fell through and she decided to purchase the club, which despite a new stadium, built several years ago was sagging in attendance and had recently fired its General Manager.

Rowling has reportedly made contact with Centurion about running the club, but made no comment about this during the press conference.

Dark Cloud made this statement, "It's very unlikely that we would opt to go to London, if the Tigers are moved," he said.

The Tigers have been renamed the London Wizards, after the boy wizard Harry Potter. Opting for a different look, the mascot is not Harry Potter himself.
