Wizardry gone wrong?

An odd story; who knows what issues arise with child actresses and their families (especially once they come of age)


LONDON - The father and brother of an actress who starred in the Harry Potter movies have been charged with threatening to kill her.

The 22-year-old Afshan Azad is cast as Padma Patil, a classmate of the teenage wizard, in the movie series.

Her father, 54-year-old Abdul Azad and elder brother, 28-year-old Ashraf, are alleged to have threatened her at her home in the northern English city of Manchester on May 21.
Ashraf is also accused of assaulting his sister.

It has nothing to do with her being a child-actress, it had everything to do with her dating a non-muslim, a Hindu man to be specific. So they threatened to kill her, and the brother assaulted her. Attempted honour killing?
