Harry Potter, 17, has killed Lord Voldemort during the battle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that lasted most of last night.
Lord Voldemort is a known mass murderer and tyrant and has a long history with Mr Potter after failing to kill him seventeen years ago.
Mr Potter could not be contacted for comment but is not expected to face any criminal charges

This was a really interesting tutorial task that involved taking a well known story (Harry Potter, in this case) and adapting it into a news story using the inverted pyramid style.
The inverted pyramid style works as shown below:
Usually I would try to make the story a little bit longer and include a quote from a party involved in the incident but obviously that is harder to do when the story is from a book and you are unable to interview anyone.
I think that it was very important for us to do this task as it is instrumental in teaching us how to write in the inverted pyramid style, which is a crucial component of journalistic writing.
