| | |  Headteacher spoils Deathly Hallows for whole school
Carolyn Banfield, headteacher at St John's Church of England school in Midsomer Norton, Somerset, spoiled the ending of Deathly Hallows for 400 children when she read it out in an assembly. Quote:
A spokesman for St John's said: "The school held an assembly on the last day of term to say goodbye to the children and staff who were leaving.
"At this assembly a very small passage from the new Harry Potter book was read aloud.
"The passage was carefully chosen to reflect the theme of saying goodbye.
"The school felt that this reading would not spoil the children's enjoyment of the book and its plot.
"Many of the children and staff at the school are fans of the Harry Potter series, and we used the text as a way of illustrating how uncertainty can sometimes accompany new beginnings."
However the decision has been "condemned" by the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations. Quote:
Spokesman Margaret Morrissey said: "It beggars belief as to how someone could even consider doing something like this. It spoilt the book for a number of children.
"The good thing about Harry Potter is that it has encouraged a lot of children to pick up books and read.
"Whatever the motive there wasn't sufficient thinking behind this.
"It is something that the children at the school would have spent the majority of the holiday reading rather than saying they were bored.
"It is very hard to understand why anyone would do that, most of all a teacher in a primary school."

That is a horrible thing to do. That teacher will be hated by all students lol. I can't believe a teacher would do that to little kids.

Well that's awful! How can they possibly think that choosing a passage wisely would be wise at all? Those poor children! | |

Loads of rubbish, they shouldn't have done that. Can they see that we children don't need bloody spoilers? We can read it by ourselves.

That is terrible! I would have hated to hear anything that came from DH before I got to read it myself.

well it still depends on the receiver of the "spoiler", if that would affect him severely or not at all, but since they're primary children and staff....

I'm sure she had good intentions, but she should've thought it out more before doing it; spoilers are never fun!
