Post 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.

I don't know other countries rights, but I'm pretty sure that the U.S. is only guaranteed that right. Australia could be quite different. And yes, it is just a book, but HP has turned into one of the biggest franchises in the world in history - that earns big coverage and people going balistic.

^ Freedom of speech is relevant whereever there's democracy. So that includes Australia.

It's a case of not thinking! Stupidity maybe. I don't really know.

And as for this quote ... How stupid. Calling it a "Joke". It's not a joke and him being a movie critic and I should think understanding the entertainment world he should of thought twice before dropping that bomb on the heads of those fans! Boo on him! Oh my .. I can't believe some people at times!

Unbelievable! It's just amazing to me how insensitive people can be over things they obviously have no comprehension over.

What on earth did he even say??? seriously, it's bad, but he doesnt' deserve to lose his job over a book, pay a fine, maybe... but not lost his job. Hate mail, yes, but then again I dont' really care because I've read the bookk... lol

People who spoil are absolutely horrible. They have no respect for others and are just plain rude.
