" A woman set her Madrid home on fire Wednesday as she cooked up a potion in an attempt to imitate the fictional wizard Harry Potter, emergency services said.

The 21-year-old was rescued by firemen and treated for minor injuries, but half her home was destroyed.

The ambulance service said she had told them she was trying to emulate the boy magician, hero of the books by J.K. Rowling that have been a sensation among adults and children alike.

For want of more magical ingredients, the woman cooked up a potion of water, oil, alcohol and toothpaste, local media reported. It was unclear what spell she was trying to weave "

I agree Kim ... read four books and now I'm waiting till my youngest son has finished number five... More than sevenhundred pages in english this time, cause he's in highschool now. A real challenge for my youngest.....

I'll take the books over the movies anytime though.. but I think thats usually the case.

I didn't know what the Darwin Award was all about so I looked it up. Very funny! :thumb:

For those of you not familiar with them ( the dutchies maybe ) " The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally kill themselves in really stupid ways"
