Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong posted on Facebook on Nov. 20 late night, saying that he found a "surprise visitor" at his office yesterday morning.

A barn owl had flown into the building the night before.

PM Lee's staff called the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority and the Jurong Bird Park for help.

The AVA managed to capture the owl and released it unharmed behind Sri Temasek, the official residence of the Prime Minister in the Istana.

Following PM's post, the Internet went a flurry with Harry Potter mania overnight, with his FB post receiving more than 20K Likes and 1.2K shares.
