"Harry Potter" actress, Afshan Azad, was assaulted and almost killed by her Muslim dad and brother, during an attempted honor killing, where she was the victim. The incident occurred in their Manchester, England home, after they discovered she was dating a Hindu man. 

It is very ironic that appearing in a film with witchcraft, which Islam forbids, is apparently okay in her family, but dating a Hindu man is not. Warner Bros is not happy with the negative press surrounding this story, as the latest installment in the "Harry Potter" film franchise is due shortly.

Honor killings among Muslims in Britain have been on the rise, presenting a very difficult challenge for authorities, as most who know of the plots within families, refuse to speak about forthcoming crimes. Sometimes, victims are not believed as well, creating a horrible home environment.
