Wizard Magician Breaks Statute of Secrecy On Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a big day for the western world – for both Wizard, Witch and Muggle alike.
This Christmas Eve a performer of the magical arts, also known as a “magician” to muggles, by the name of Ryland Silverthorne has caught the attention of The Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes for revealing how one of his famous tricks is preformed.
The “Trick” in question breaks The Statue of Secrecy (instituted in 1689) and consists of a standard disappearing act in which Silverhtorne has a volunteer from the audience join him on stage. After choosing his audience selected assistant he then apparates with the chosen muggle to the back of the room behind the spectators, in plain view for everyone to see.
Because of the magicians haphazard and careless acts, The Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes in conjunction with a team of Obliviators has been tasked with tracking down all audience members that have attended Silverthornes shows to abolish and correct their memories.
Silverthorne has since been arrested and currently awaits sentencing in the Department of Mysteries. If convicted, Silverthorne will serve a lifetime in solitude at Azkaban.
When The Daily Prophet caught up with Silverthorne for comment the Wizard refused to answer our questions.
It just goes to show that not all ideas are good ideas and that the world of magic still needs to be careful – especially when in the muggle community.
Such a blatant breaking of the International Statute of Secrecy should never have been allowed to happen!
I understand the urgency but life? That seems a bit extreme
It is. But its just a safety precaution i expect.
Bloody Hell help us all! Lord help us all!
It is a little bit extreme but its really only to keep us safe hopefully he will get out soon
That punishment is definitely very extreme. I’d do six months max.
It’s much, but it’s for safe of Magical World and muggles.
Hmph, that is…outrageous! Serves him right for going to Azkaban.
It was an accident though,he should be in trouble for doing it, but he should’t get life sentence.
#@&%*%*(^&%#%^^^**^I%$@^^&&*()(&^%^%^ {the rest have been cut off by other stuff you don’t have to know}.
The punishment is a little bit extreme . it makes sense sense though. The statue of secrecy is very important.
I agree.
I feel as though we should not be preforming to Muggles like this.
What a bloke.
Bloody Hell…!?
Stop swearing Christina
This is bad right?! Really bad!
Arent u supposed to be dead? Snape killed u at the end of Half Blood prince because Draco couldnt.
theres always his portrait
It’s horrible
How dare he. Does he now how much work this is for all of the Ministry Of Magic. If he isn’t found guilty I will be very surprised. The Statue of Secrecy is very important to make sure the exposure of our world does not happen.
Is the magician a real wizard or a muggle magician, I’m not quite clear about this. If he was a wizard, why would such a person reveals the secrets of the wizarding world. Or, if he was a muggle magician, how did he find out about us. And,how can a muggle became a magician. If he was a real wizard, did he accepted at Hogwarts? I am left with loads of questions. But, I don’t know such much yet, I’m only in third year. I’m a muggle born so I’ve seen all those “magicians” and scammers.
this isn’t good!
Yes ur right I’m glad the ministry is doing something it would be bad if it went unnoticed if it did he may do it again
Well its truly a really bad circumstance that we wizards and witches need to overcome
well i do suppose that is your responsibility because of your title
I think that the punishment is a bit harsh but that could seriously harm the muggles mental health!
I think he should serve at least 7 years. That seems reasonable. If anyone got harmed though, he should serve 30 years. I know I don’t start Hogwarts till next year but I read the articles for fun.
But it says lifetime at Azkaban so he probably will be there until he dies
That just seems a little extreme, considering he was only doing it for entertainment!
I agree with Snuffles the magic wizard. It was an accident, he should be punished, but shouldn’t get life’s sentence.
Gunny I agree I mean he should be in Azkaban for like ten years but it isn’t fair to spent the rest of his life there
Yeah I agree
voldermort made me a horcruxs
Definitely should be sent to Azkerban. Best place for him
I don’t know know about that, thats a very serious term for something that can be forgotten about fairly easily
I personally think that he sure can be punished sent him to Azkaban for like ten years but I think that it isn’t fair to spent the rest of his life in Azkaban
he well be in azkaban for life.
It simply makes no scene to me why the department of mysteries is having anything to do with this. We all know that the department of accidental magical reversal should be handling this, or, i don’t know, THE MEMORY WIPERS! Merlins beard I knew the ministry was bad but oh my.
he dosen’t deserve to be in azkaban for life. hope he gets about 5 to 10 years of punishment.
The statue is important but maybe the sentence in Azkaban should be shorter
It is terrible how wizards believe that muggles are ideal creatures to mate and consort with. It is absolutely disgusting how this wizard shows the muggles the magic of our realm.
Madame Piquery is quite right. However, by the look on his face, you can see that he is quite the imbecile.
I can’t believe someone could be so careless! As an Auror, I’d say the minimum sentence is 2 years in Azkaban!
If I was the judge, he would serve 10 years assuming nobody was harmed. It would be life if someone was in fact hurt.
If I was the judge, he would serve 10 years assuming nobody was harmed. It would be life if someone was in fact hurt. That seems fair.
Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. 8 months in Azkaban would fit him well.
He is the worst to show us to muggiles
Thats horrible
That’s really bad. But, I also think 10 years would be enough. I don’t know about the ministry……….
How can such a thing even be allowed? Oh wait, IT’S NOT. He should be sent to Azkaban and never come out.
How dare they!
blimey, young people these days. absolutely zero regard for the safety of the wizarding world!
