Harry Potter and Leicester Tigers’ very own Hagrid put a spell on Worcester Warriors
HARRY POTTER'S magic rubbed off on Leicester Tigers' very own Hagrid as their spell-binding start to the season continued.
Man-mountain Nemani Nadolo set up two and scored another as the 6ft 5in star ran riot for table-topping Tigers.
Nadolo, also known as the BFG - Big Fijian Giant - rampaged through woeful Worcester in a Sixways slaughtering.
A fifth-straight win made it a best start to a Premiership season for Tigers.
Boss Steve Borthwick said: "Nemani has vast experience of playing rugby in France, Super Rugby, Japan and internationally and he has been terrific.
"I told all of them to enjoy this win I was pleased with many aspects of it.
"But for ten minutes in the second half it was tough and in a different game you will get punished."
Nadolo's wizarding wing mate Potter opened the floodgates with the first try of seven, jinking past Billy Searle, Ollie Lawrence and Justin Clegg.
Searle's penalty soon after, Worcester's only points, could not save them from total and utter embarrassment.
George Ford - dumped by England boss Eddie Jones last month - showed his Test class.

The playmaker booted seven points to keep the scoreboard ticking and scooped the ball off the deck to send in centre Matias Moroni for the second try.
Moroni's Argentina team-mate and hooker Julian Montoya also bundled over the third before the break.
Then up stepped 22st wrecking-ball Nadolo to smash and bash his way through the horror-show hosts.
First he fed substitute duo Richard Wigglesworth and Nic Dolly before stealing the spotlight with a try of his own, a powerful finish in the corner.
Billy Burns finished it with a chip and chase with Warriors dead on their feet.
Worcester head coach Jonathan Thomas said: "It's very difficult, it is a bitter pill to swallow and to lose in that fashion is truly disappointing.
"That was probably the most-complete team performance I have seen in the Premiership in a long time.
"They steamrollered us and physically they dominated.
