Quidditch World Cup

Police have charged a teen over a bleach attack on a mother who had asked a group to be quiet during a Harry Potter film.

The 46-year-old woman was with her husband and two children at the Vue cinema in Leeds, Britain, last week.

During a screening of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince she asked a group of at least five teenagers to stop making a noise.

West Yorkshire Police said two people in the group followed the family to a nearby restaurant after the screening and threw bleach over the mother's head and back.

She suffered burns to her skin and possible permanent damage to her eyes.

A 16-year-old boy will appear before a Leeds magistrate on Monday, charged with wounding with intent to commit grievous bodily harm.
