A 4-year-old girl was critically injured after she apparently tried to fly after watching "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" movie, according to a Local 6 News report.Authorities in Shelby, N.C., said that the girl watched the movie and then crawled onto a kitchen counter, straddled a broom and then jumped off.
The injured girl was at a neighbor's house when she tried to fly away on the broom.
Her mother reportedly left her in the care of a 14-year-old boy for less than an hour while she went out for food, Local 6 News reported.
The victim was listed in critical condition this weekend, according to the report.

And I think we should all post pictures of ourselves during the show next week just to give the thread an edge.THIS is as close to MY picture as I intend to post:
I thought that Nappy used each individual computer as a server . I believe Gnutella does also , as does Icq . I'm more than willing to learn if you or others have some time tonight .
I admit I could do more research on my own . When this thing went down I tended to look at the copyright law aspect of the case , in addition to the impact upon international caselaw .
Revealed: couple try to have first human clone babyBy Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor
A couple trying to become the parents of the world's first human clone, using the same process that produced Dolly the sheep, have spoken for the first time ... to the Sunday Herald.
Bill, a high school teacher, and Kathy, a sales representative -- they do not want their last name revealed -- are one of six couples who will participate in a cloning experiment later this year led by American fertility expert Dr Panos Zavos.
The couple, from northeast America, have agreed to a clone of Kathy and are awaiting a call to tell them to fly out to a secret destination where the historic attempt will take place.
They insist they only turned to the radical procedure because they have no other way of producing their own child. Bill and Kathy have been trying to have children for the past nine years. After a series of gruelling IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatments, fertility doctors told Kathy, who is in her mid-40s, that they could do no more for her.
Bill, in his mid-50s, said: 'If we could clone a child this would be our own child. We don't really regard this as cloning. To us this is an advanced IVF process.
'We are religious people and have searched deep into ourselves about this. We do not believe it should be used randomly. We think that this is something that should only be done for infertile couples.
'I have a huge family with brothers and sisters and they all have children. It is very important for us to have our own genetically-related children.'
Kathy added: 'My father was a very brilliant man, as were my uncles on my mother's side of the family. I have strong genes in my background, as does my husband. I come from a very warm, loving family and I hope that we can bring a child into this world that has that warmth and intelligence.'
Using the process that created Dolly the sheep at the Roslyn Institute in Midlothian, the embryo will be made up almost entirely of Kathy's DNA. It will contain an an insignificant number of genes from the donor egg but none of Bill's genetic material.
Why we're trying to give birth to the world's first human clone
What I have heard about it is that many of these systems were developed and distributed out on the web and cloned all around. There is no 'company' thus nobody to sue or prosecute. How the technical end works I'm clueless. The only one I ever used was AudioGalaxy, which was shut down. That one I believe did have a centeral locus for the system operations, not the data (song files). They were not supposed to be distributing copywrited material, and there was a lot I wanted that was unavailable (which it said was for that reason). Obviously they did.
Hope that helps for a start. If there are any errors I'm sure somebody here will point them out.
(To whoever does confirm or correct, please ping me.)
What the "artista" seems to forget is they have released control of there future when they sign the contract . I've read and have heard artist , claim that they are citizens of the world .
That stand alone comment speaks volumes for me . Who is the Britney person that you mentioned ;) ?
I've minimal knowledge of Audiogalaxy , but you have motivated me to research this in greater detail on my own . I'm certain the bigger picture is not over even though it is not an issue that is not on the front page . Speaking for myself I dont mind at all when I thank you in public .
