Jonathan Coleman spoils Harry Potter book on live television
Mikey 7 comments
Former comedian Jonathan Coleman is under fire for giving away the ending to the latest Harry Potter book, live on Australian morning television.
There is no word at this stage whether the ending he blurted was genuine or not, but the show hosts David Koch and Melissa Doyle were both clearly annoyed. Coleman tried to reconcile with:
"I didn't want to ruin it. I didn't want the kids to be upset. Anyway I'll be going now."
Which was countered with Koch's comment: "And you may not be coming back."
Coleman's fate is apparently going to be decided by an SMS poll, which won't fare well for him.
Full Story.

I was pissed off and discovered a few days later that it was a true quote and it does give away the end.
The clip was in a montage of teh hype frim the day before when the book got launched, I only heard today that he did it AGAIN on Sunrise.
