"Boy Who Lived – Kissed!"

Byline Verity Prate

It is the grave duty of this witch to report to you that Harry Potter, 15, has been kissed by dementors. Dementors, a type of soul-eating phantom that are used as guards at Azkaban prison, attacked the boy hero near his home in the town of Little Whinging on the evening of August 2. Among the victims of the rogue dementor attack are Dumley Dudley, 15, and Pierce Pumpkins, 15, both muggles, and Arabella Figg, 55, squib, all of that same hamlet in Surrey.

Though the other three victims all perished almost immediately upon their de-souling, our hero has been rendered comatose and is currently being treated in the Janus Thickey ward at St. Mungo's Hospital. The faithful should pray for Mr. Potter, though his prognosis is not at all good.

Mr. Potter is said to reside with his muggle family, one of whom was Mr. Dudley (deceased). Albus Dumbledore, former chief warlock and magical guardian of Mr. Potter, would not comment upon the attack or the condition of Mr. Potter.

We shall update you as news follows in the wake of this tragedy.
