Youth held for online Potter
FRENCH police detained a 16-year-old who posted an unauthorised translation of the latest Harry Potter book online, it was reported yesterday.
The high school student, from Aix-en-Provence in southern France, was detained on Monday based on a complaint by the French publishing house Gallimard, the Parisien newspaper quoted judicial police as saying. It was unclear whether he was still in custody yesterday.
Gallimard has published the Harry Potter series in French and is to release the official translation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on 26 October.
The unofficial translation was online within days of the 21 July release of the English original.
