Wizard Potter-likes

VISITORS to Cashes Green Primary School might be forgiven for believing they were walking the hallowed corridors of Hogwarts.

With no less than four Harry Potter lookalikes at their desks, many who have seen the bespectacled quartet have been fooled by brothers Oliver (10), James (nine), Sean (nine) and Leigh Foley (seven).

Wherever they go, passers-by give them a double take, just to make sure their eyes are not playing magic tricks on them.

Mum Nicola of Paganhill Estate, said her sons cause quite a stir when they are out and about.

"We've been in the supermarket and people said: 'Look there's Harry Potter'," she told the News & Journal. "And then they look again and again and again."

James and Sean are twins but James has a scar on his forehead, which makes the likeness with JK Rowling's fictional character even more spooky. In the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, evil wizard Voldemort scratched a scar in baby Harry's forehead when he killed his parents.

Life is not so scary though for the four from Paganhill.

To their mum they are just a normal bunch of boys.

"They are all mad about Harry Potter," said Mrs Foley. "But they haven't got any supernatural powers that I'm aware of."
