JERUSALEM (AFP) - Fans of literary boy wizard Harry Potter (news - web
sites) have been beating a path to the tomb of a 19-year-old British
soldier who is buried in a cemetery close to Tel Aviv.
Corporal Harry Potter, a member of the Royal Worcestershire regiment,
was killed 66 years ago during fighting in the southern West Bank town of
Hebron and was subsequently laid to rest in a cemetery in the town of
Ramle.
"Every day tourists and visitors come wanting to see Harry's grave," the
cemetery's custodian Ibrahim Huri told the Maariv daily on Tuesday.
"At first I didn't know why they were interested in this grave, but then I
as told there were books and movies about him."
The local council has recently added the grave to the official tourist guide.
"There is great interest and curiosity over Harry's grave," Ramle deputy
mayor said. "We want to make an historical investigation into the soldier
killed in Hebron when he was only 19."
