A 14-year-old Philadelphia boy was treated and released from a hospital 
this morning after being shot in the chest by a friend who wanted his new 
copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, according to a news 
release from Bloomsbury, the publisher of the book.

Physicians say the boy would be dead but the bullet struck the 870-page 
book first, leaving the child with only minor injuries.

Harry Potter a real-life hero! Yay!

On the other hand, Harry Potter incites violence and crime.

Take your pick. :)
