| | |  Thousands of fans devastated because of spoiling comments
Yesterday at 7:45 AM, movie critic Jonathan Coleman for Australian program 'Sunrise', revealed the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to more than half a million viewers!
'Sunrise' has since received a large quantity of e-mails, in which Coleman has been described as "pathetic", "unprofessional", and "incompetent".
Coleman claims he didn’t want to ruin it for the kids, and says he hasn’t read the book, the comment was nothing more than a joke. We cannot be sure, at this time, whether what he said about the book was true or false. He also apologized to fans, but for some, it simply isn’t enough.
After having received so many e-mails, executive producer Adam Boland had no choice but to suspend Coleman from the television show. It is impossible to say, at the time, when he will come back to his job as a movie critic.

How horrible could he be?!? Spoiling it for everyone. He should be fired - the people sending the e-mails have every right to say those things about him. |

OMG! How stupid of him!
At least they suspended him... but if he's a MOVIE critic, why'd he talk about the last BOOK is what I'm kinda curious about... (I can kinda see it but still).
Those emails sound true though, that's very unprofessional to do and it's really pathetic. | |

Oh my god! How could he. He should really keep his mouth shut. That was so stupid of him. Apologizing isn't enough for me either!

I cannot understand how people STILL don't get the magnitude of making comments like this. Even if they don't read the books, they've got to see that revealing details of something so influential and so popular is like telling everyone before they enter a movie theatre the ending of that movie. I dunno ... I think he deserved what he got! | |

That Coleman guy has to be pretty thick to think that a joke like that would be accepted by fans.  | |

That is not very smart of him, but at the same time, poor him to loose his job over such a thing | |

| Your boyfriend is wrong - that would contravene freedom of speech.
That was mean-spirited but I don't think he should lose his job over a book. A little perspective, in circumstances such as this, is necessary.
