Afshan Azad, Padma Patil in the Harry Potter films, had her father and brother arrested and charged with assault after the two allegedly threatened to kill her. The attack is said to have occurred in Azad's Manchester (UK) home on May 21st. The 23-year-old actress' father and brother appeared before magistrates yesterday. The case was postponed until July 12th and both men have been released on bail.
Azad had never acted before first being cast in the 2005 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but called it "The best experience of my life." She has since appeared in four more of the franchise's movies, including the forthcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2011).
Two years ago, one of the young stars of the franchise was stabbed to death outside a nightclub, and last year, another star was busted on marijuana charges.
