At an English hotel, a man was seen wandering around brandishing a big "knife" close to the elevators, which sparked panic. After multiple complaints from witnesses, armed police officers arrived at the location in Enderby, Leicestershire, shortly afterward. But when police realized that the weapon was simply a wand that belonged to a Harry Potter fan, they were astounded, according to the BBC.

Following the entertaining incident, Leicestershire Police joked on Facebook that "there was no sign of Voldemort." They did not, however, specify which hotel the incident took place at.

A Blaby police representative wrote: "This morning, a male individual inside a large hotel in Enderby was reported to have 'a large knife', so I went there with several firearms officers. We swiftly ascertained that it was a wand-wielding Harry Potter fan after making inquiries. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and "Voldemort" showed no signs of appearing.

Online users were amused and laughed at the Facebook post, and some took advantage of the situation to make puns and jokes about Harry Potter.

A user made a joke, asking, "Are you being serious?" "So many missed opportunities for Harry Potter puns," another person said."You know, I wish there were more of these reports," remarked the third. However, these are dangerous times when it comes to knives; you can never be too cautious! I'm relieved that nobody is in danger and that instead of making people smile or laugh.

Another four said, ''Expecto Patrol-man." Another said, ''I should use greater caution the next time I go out with my wands.''
