Wizard Raised in Muggle Society Unable to Repress True Identity

Child reportedly thriving in new, supportive environment

LONDON — A young wizard who was raised to believe he was not magical was unable to contain his innate powers when he magically released a large snake during a recent trip to the London Zoo.

“You can tell a kid he’s a Muggle all you want; it doesn’t make it true,” said Jugson Sprout, local wizard. “In fact, if you do that, you’re just going to end up seeing more dangerous incidents like this one, where the magic lashed out unpredictably. Letting him be himself honestly doesn’t hurt anyone.”

At press time, the unnamed youth was reportedly happier than ever after being removed from the care of his abusive aunt and uncle placed in a proactively supportive environment.
