| | |  Pirate Potter Seized
Detectives have raided a shop in Calcutta where they found twelve pirated Harry Potter books, including three copies of the Deathly Hallows.
After arresting two men, the police were able to get the location to a building which held over 250 copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Quote:
Kumar said Bloomsbury, the publisher of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, had complained to the police that pirated copies of the latest Harry Potter book were being sold across the city. “We were warned about the possibility of rampant piracy before Deathly Hallows was published. Since then, our officers have been on guard,” he said.
What's worse is that some of these books have been selling for the same price as the original.

When it said "Potter Pirate" I thought  ????? Potter pirate? Is Harry becoming a pirate or something. Then I realised and went on a Mental AKing spree!
