LIFE!
After hours of deliberations, the Wizengamot has decided that Harry James Potter, The Boy Who Is Unforgiveable, will be sentenced to a LIFE sentence in the maximum security section of Azkaban Prison. While a number argued for The Boy to be sent through the Veil of Death or given the Dementor's Kiss, Headmaster Dumbledore was able to get the majority of the Wizengamot to show some mercy in allowing The Boy to be reminded of his crimes daily rather than to quickly pass on to the "Next Great Adventure."
DMLE Head Amelia Bones has stated that The Boy will be transferred to Azkaban this evening.
