THOUSANDS of copies of the eagerly awaited new Harry Potter book were stolen from a warehouse in England over the weekend.

The 7,680 copies of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth in JK Rowling’s series on the boy wizard, were taken in a late-night heist on Merseyside in northern England on Sunday.

Police were checking a white articulated trailer truck found about 20 miles from the warehouse for forensic evidence.
