| | | 'Half-Blood Prince' thief to do jail time
Aaron Lambert, a security guard who stole copies of ' Half-Blood Prince' and later tried to tell them to The Sun, was sentenced today to four and a half years jail time. He admitted threatening the reporter with an imitation pistol. Quote:
Sentencing him Judge Richard Bray said: "You realised the books had considerable potential value.
"It was only through the good services of the press and police that fans of Harry Potter - both young and old were able to read the book without their pleasure being polluted by the premature publication of the plot."
Thanks to Mugglenet for the info! |

He should've thought carefully what he was doing. Harry Potter's got a lot of influence

That's great news! How could that guy do something like that? He deserves to be punished.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
