Have Hills Foiled Harry Potter Coup!?

Bookmakers William Hill have had several enquires from punters wishing to place bets on 'Dean Thomas' being revealed as the Half Blood Prince in the next of the Harry Potter books. Hills did not accept the bets as the book is already at the printing stage and therefore a number of insiders will be privy to who is the Half Blood Prince.

"Interestingly, we have not had any enquires about any of the other characters for months and one customer was looking to place a bet of £1000, which is a large bet if you are only guessing. We have not got long until we find out if we were the subject of an attempted betting coup but we are itching to get a copy of the new book", said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
