Boy freed from 'wizard' hat


A three-year-old boy who put a traffic cone on his head so he could look like Harry Potter had to be cut free by firemen.

Charlie Thomas was playing with his sisters and came across the cone.

He thought the traffic cone looked like Harry Potter's wizard hat and plonked it on his head.

When he showed parents Louisa and Martin they realised the cone was jammed tight, reports The Sun.

Louisa and Martin, of Cullompton, Devon tried to ease him free with soap but the cone wouldn't move.

She called the fire brigade who took half an hour to remove the cone with cutting tools and pliers.

Louisa said: "Charlie loves Harry and when he put the cone on he was so pleased with himself. But when we couldn't get it off, it was a bit scary.

"We shouldn't have laughed but he looked so comical, even though he was upset.

The firemen got him out by pouring water down the cone and cutting the rim.
