A Harry Potter legend stalked the streets of Vice City — but J.K. Rowling's lawyers would've had a field day.
Players once claimed Sirius Black's dog form 'Padfoot' appeared near Hotel Harrison in GTA: Vice City, attacking pedestrians before vanishing. The theory collapsed under its own weight: not only would Rockstar face crippling copyright fees for using Rowling's iconic character from the then-best-selling novel, but the myth also ignored that Harry Potter's world is set in the UK while Vice City is firmly in 1980s Florida. The 'sightings' were simply mods, and desperate believers even tried citing the 'Full Moon Warehouse' as werewolf evidence — a reach that doesn't hold up.
Verdict:Busted
