All you Harry Potter fans, be very careful before you put on that wizard's hat! Three-year-old, avid Harry Potter fan, Charlie Thomson learnt the hard way.

Charlie was on an outing with his family, when he suddenly decided to copy his Hogwarts hero by putting on a Wizard's hat. The only problem was his choice of hat - a discarded yellow traffic cone, which wouldn't come off.

His parents tried everything, even dousing his head with soapy water. In the end they had to call the firemen for help. It took six men, about half an hour to cut the cone using cutting tools and pliers. While Charlie was fine, his head and pride were a little bruised.

His parents replaced his "cone" hat with a real wizard hat so Charlie can really emulate his Hogwarts hero.
