Eight Years

2008 was an exciting time to be a Harry Potter fan. The final book,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, had been released. Movies
were on the way. And author Melissa Anelli was at the center of it
all, running a popular fan site called The Leaky Caldron and
working on a book of her own, Harry, a History. Just as things
couldn’t get better, Melissa Anelli received her first death
threat. This threat would be the first in what would later become
nearly a decade of harassment from halfway across the world. The
culprit? An aggrieved Harry Potter fan named Jessica Parker.
