Watch: The jaw-dropping jump by Harry Potter into a French moat

Harry Potter had the most incredible few minutes in France last weekend, scoring the sole Leicester try after 21 minutes in their epic Heineken Champions Cup win at Bordeaux and then disappearing from the field of play less than two minutes later in an extraordinary fashion where he was fortunate not to have been injured.

The soon-to-be 24-year-old winger had lit up the Tigers with the try that put them into the lead in an engrossing match they ultimately won 16-13 thanks a late George Ford penalty. However, what took place just 117 seconds after Potter touched down to score his try grabbed the attention of social media and a pinned video posted on Twitter by BT Sport Rugby has since been viewed more than 160,000.

There was was 20:23 on the clock when Potter grabbed his try, 22:20 when a push in the back by Ben Lam after a whistle from the referee had stopped play resulted in the Leicester back taking evasive action, jumping the perimeter advertising and disappearing down into the concrete moat that rings the pitch at Stade Chaban-Delmas.

      Given the considerable seven-foot drop on the other side of the advertising board, Potter could have easily crashed against the wall and suffered a game-ending injury if he hadn’t somehow managed to keep his composure and land on his feet, eventually returning to the pitch unscathed after figuring a way to get back up to pitch level.  

      The shocked facial expressions of some fans in the crowd as Potter disappeared from view with his unexpected jump were priceless as was some of the commentary given how the Leicester player has the same name as the mythical Harry Potter, the famed young wizard from the JK Rowling novels and movies.

      Leicester skipper Ellis Genge tweeted that his colleague was “off to find platform 9 and 3/4s”. TV pundit Ben Key, the ex-Tigers lock, added during commentary: “Be careful of the crocodiles down there.” Meanwhile, BT Sport commentator Ali Eykyn said: “I am not sure he had any idea where he was going to there, Harry Potter. He has just disappeared into the abyss. He’ll need a magic wand to get out of that.”

      Glasgow's honest take on Sam Prendergast: 'I think they make it easy for him'

      A few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube ad that stopped me in my tracks. It looked like a live broadcast of Elon Musk announcing Tesla’s “exclusive crypto project.” The production was flawless, professional, convincing, and eerily realistic. His voice, expressions, mannerisms everything matched what you’d expect from a real Tesla livestream.The ad promised massive returns if you “joined the project” by sending Bitcoin to a wallet address. I was skeptical at first, but the countdown timer, skyrocketing charts, and Elon’s confident pitch chipped away at my doubt. Eventually, I gave in. I sent $8,000 worth of BTC, thinking I was getting in early on a groundbreaking initiative.But just a few hours later, something didn’t sit right. I checked Tesla’s official channels. No mention of any crypto project. My stomach dropped.I rushed to a blockchain explorer and looked up the wallet address I’d sent the funds to. What I saw confirmed my worst fears: my BTC was being split and moved rapidly across multiple wallets in a process known as “smurfing,” a common money laundering technique. I had been scammed.In desperation, I searched for help and came acrossCHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERYa blockchain forensics firm. Honestly, I didn’t expect much but I reached out anyway.

      Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

      TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


      It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

      The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

      Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

      He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

      He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

      Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

      Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

      Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

      Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
