Death Notice:
James & Lily Potter
Last night, 31 October, at approximately 8:30 pm, both James and Lily Potter we murdered in their homes at the hands of You Know Who.
According to reports and evidence gathered by Aurors on the scene, the Potters (who had been in hiding) we found by You Know Who whom promptly entered their home in Godric's Hollow by force and used the Avada Kedavra Killing Curse. Their deaths are two more in the recent killings of wizards by the hands of You Know Who and his Death Eaters.
At this moment, the Prophet has no information on the current whereabouts of You Know Who though it is suspected that he is now in hiding in Albania waiting to return to full strength after the curse that was meant to kill the Potters son, Harry, rebounded. Harry, aged 1 year, was taken from Godric's Hollow by Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, on Albus Dumbledore's orders. He has been placed in the care of his Muggle relatives in Surrey where he will live until the time arrives for him to go to Hogwarts to begin his wizard training.
James and Lily Potter were each 21 years of age.
