'Family' Attack on Harry Girl
By STAFF REPORTER
Published: Today
THE dad and brother of an Asian Harry Potter actress have been charged with threatening to kill her.
Pretty Afshan Azad, 23 — who plays Padma Patil in the hit films — was allegedly attacked at her home in Manchester.
Her father Abul Azad, 54, and brother Ashraf Azad, 28, appeared at Manchester magistrates' court on Tuesday accused of threatening to kill Afshan.
Ashraf is also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The case was adjourned until later this month for committal proceedings to crown court.
Afshan is said to have been attacked at her home in Longsight, Manchester, on May 21 this year.
The beauty was studying for her AS levels at Xaverian College in Rusholme, Manchester, when she was first cast in the 2005 film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.
She has since appeared in three more of the wizard movies and is in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, due for release next year.
She plays Padma, a witch who is in the same year as Harry at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, and is the identical twin sister of Parvati Patil, played by actress Shefila Chowdhury.
Afshan had never acted before landing the role and has revealed how she only went to the audition — at her former school Whalley Range High School For Girls — for a laugh with friends.
She has since described appearing in The Goblet Of Fire as "the best experience of my life".
It is the latest disturbing attack on a Harry Potter star.
In May 2008 Rob Knox, 18, who played Marcus Belby in The Half-Blood Prince, was stabbed to death when he tried to break up a fight involving his 17-year-old brother Jamie outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup, Kent.
Abul and Ashraf have been released on bail and are due to appear on July 12 for committal proceedings to Crown Court.

This has the looks of an attempted honor killing: the father and brother working together to kill the sister -- the same thing happened to Amina and Sarah Said, as well as to Aqsa Parvez. How dare these women not subjugate themselves to their obviously superior male cohorts.

Pretty woman for sure. Now that she's 23, she needs to ditch those losers and stay as far away as possible. Knowing England, I'll predict they just get a slap on the wrist.

Problem is you really can't make an example of those idiots because they'd still be seen as martyrs.
I'd say castrate them and feed the genitals to pigs before deportation but there's probably some silly law estopping adequate, long lasting messages. :)

I can think of more than one member account here that would never post such a story.

It's because only people "full of hatred" post on the goings-on among a certain demographic. Samson the "Christian" is too busy railing against Christians, Jews and whites (surprisingly, 3 groups of people jihadists hate) and making excuses for why the Taliban uses 5-year-old children to plant IEDs to bother discussing this stuff. ::)
This girl is pretty cute, too. Shame on her exercising the freedom England's laws grant her.
"Harry Potter star Afshan Azad fled her family home after her father and brother allegedly threatened to kill her in a row over a boyfriend.
The 21-year-old actress, who has appeared in four of the hit films as one of the movie wizard's screen girlfriends, was believed to be in hiding last night after the pair appeared in court to face charges.
Abdul Azad, 54, is accused of threatening to kill his daughter while Ashraf Azad, 28, is charged with threatening to kill his sister and of causing her actual bodily harm.
The charges follow an alleged "honour" argument in the Muslim family's home about Afshan's friendship with a Hindu man.
Her brother and father allegedly confronted her in her bedroom and demanded that she end the relationship.
When she refused it is claimed she was attacked and left "badly bruised". Afshan, who is of Bangladeshi decent, moved to London to stay with friends
immediately after the alleged incident at the house in Longsight, Manchester on May 21.
The two men were arrested and remanded in custody to Manchester's Strangeways jail.
On Tuesday they appeared by video link at the city's magistrates' court. The 75-minute hearing was adjourned until July 12 for Crown Court committal proceedings and both men were granted bail."

Looks like you hit the nail right on the head.
Now, if you can just aim that hammer at SAMSON's head....
