| | |  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 can't stand people who do that it's terrible for all the little kids and adults who want to take there time reading the book, people like him are so tactless it's good he was suspended from the show i highly doubt it was a joke he just wasn't thinking!

You'd have to be pretty stupid to say something like that on TV, but he shouldn't be fired. Suspended, yes, but not fired. | |

*slaps him with trout* Thats such an aweful thing to do! Is he new at this? Or is he just plain dumb?
He should be fired and (for his own god) go into hiding.

Ouch! That's quite the massive response! lol. but wow, that wasn't very clear thinking. Seeing that HP is HUGE! he should have thought twice, or consider the consequences. Wowzers...

I really wish people would think before they act. All the bad comments they'll recieve...getting suspended...I feel no sorrow for him. He deserves it. It's horrible.

But whatever happened to Freedom of Speech? C'mon people, it's a book. Sure, Harry Potter is a big deal. But do we suspend people over the revelation of a book? If it were any other novel, I'll bet the reaction and consequences wouldn't be so severe. We're going crazy over Harry Potter in a bad way!
