| | |  Italian Harry Potter guide author dies
The Independent is reporting that Edi Vesco, an Italian author best known for Il Magico Libro – I Segreti Del Mondo Di Harry Potter ( The Magic Book – The Secrets of Harry Potter’s World), recently died. Her son has since admitted to both attacking and murdering her. Quote:
An investigator described the case as "a truly terrifying story – a frightening family drama" and said the murder had happened at the climax of a violent row which erupted when the boy told his mother he was planning to leave school and educate himself for his final exams.
The full story can be found at the above link but please be aware that the details are both graphic and disturbing.
Our thoughts go out to her family & friends at this hard time. | |

O.o what a crazy world we live in 
Such a platitude, but it so often proves to be right.

Oh my! That's just horrible. ... Her son was the person that killed her? What a crazy and disturbing thing to do.
I hope that the rest of the family is alright. My prayers go out to them.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
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. | |
