Harry Potter Actress Receives Death Threats from Family

Actress from the Harry Potter Movies Receives Death Threats

Tony Payne
The 22 year old Asian actress Afshan Azad, who plays the role of Padma Patil, one of Harry Potter's classmates in the Harry Potter movie series, has had threats made to her life, not from fans but from close members of her family.

Both her father Abdul Azad, aged 54, and her brother Ashraf Azad, aged 28, were in court this week, charged with issuing death threats against her. The incidents occurred at her home in Manchester on 21st May this year.

As well as threatening to kill the young actress, her brother was accused of inflicting bodily harm on his sister on more than one occasion.

The court case was adjourned and will now proceed to the Crown Court.

The character of Padma Patil, who is the identical twin sister of Parvati Patil, first appeared in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. She will also appear in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the final book in the Harry Potter series, which will be split into two movies, the first part opening on 19th November 2010.

    Typical muslim garbage.

    Wow... interesting.

    This is another example of muslim brutality. They threatened her because the Muslim family did not approve of her dating a Hindu man. They're just animals.
