Harry Potter sighted in Diagon Alley!

Harry Potter sighted in Diagon Alley! Today Harry Potter was sighted in Flourish in Blotts getting school supplies for his upcoming school year. However, it was rather hard to see him due to the crowd of fans and reporters clamoring for his attention. Harry looked a little nauseous and Albus Dumbledore had to be summoned to take him away. One 15 year old girl sobbed to the Quibbler, "I so wanted to meet him. I love him!" after he was taken away. Dumbledore later commented "that this was because of You-Know-Who coming back and that he has had the same response in the Ministry of Magic. Harry is now a hero."Most of the crowd was girls. The Quibbler got information through reliable sources that Harry is absolutely stricken about his new fandom and is afraid to go out in public and get mobbed. Or robbed. Harry has a large amount of gold and is a vulnerable target for pickpockets and thieves. "He always carries at least three hundred galleons around in case there's a new broom out so he can pay a little in advance," says Augusta Goldheim, a waitress at the Leaky Cauldron. "This shows a little of how caring he is towards common workers."Mrs. Goldheim's daughter, Carentla Goldheim, is said to have pictures all over her walls of him. "It's so weird." Augusta commented. "Before Fudge said You-Know-Who was back, Carentla absolutely hated Harry."During the interview, Carentla's best friend, Draczilla Malfoy, came over and we got a word with her. "Personally, I think Harry isn't that great. He seems to never know what he's doing. Completely not smooth." she said, batting her large black eyelashes and tossing her long blond hair.There is a new Harry Potter Fan club out with now over a thousand members! They raised 6000 galleons and over 2000 personal gifts for Harry's birthday. The head of the fan club, Carmela La Roow, says, "We are hoping to get some responses to our letters and an autograph signing day soon."Let's just keep our fingers crossed that Harry gives them some signed photos before they suffocate.
