REAL-LIFE HARRY POTTER SPELLS OUT LIFE OF TEENAGE WIZARD

SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) – The new Harry Potter film is a fantasy for most people but it’s practically a documentary for a teenage wizard in San Diego. The real-life Harry Potter is a 19-year-old wizard named “Joshua” who has been practicing witchcraft since he was 14. Joshua learned his first spell from a witchcraft book and used it to get himself fired from a crummy job that his parents wouldn’t let him quit. Since then, Joshua has cast love spells, revenge spells and curses, but says “they blow up in your face unless you take the wishes of the universe into consideration.” Although Joshua loves witchcraft, he warns Potter-obsessed pre-teens considering wizardry not to do it until “you understand the difference between need and desire.”
