Police find reported 'large knife' held by man was 'a Harry Potter wand'

Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Armed police stormed a hotel in England on a report of a man armed with a "large knife," but left after discovering the reported weapon was a Harry Potter wand.

Blaby Police said in a Facebook post that "a number of firearms officers" responded to a hotel in Enderby, Leicestershire, on a report of a man holding "a large knife" near the elevators.

The officers located the man and "quickly established that it was a Harry Potter fan with a wand."

"Thankfully no harm was caused to any resident & there was no sign of [Voldemort]," the post said.
