Toronto Star and the curse of Potter fans

Posted on | July 19, 2007 | Comments Off

Looks like Canada’s largest daily newspaper decided to be the big party poopers this week. Yes the yoyo’s down at the Toronto Star newspaper decided it was newsworthy to publish the names of the Harry Potter characters who supposedly die in the last installment of the series.

Now why would a major paper do this? Is this really news?

And really, why spoil it for the rest of us? Was it such a non news day that they felt obliged to behave in such a tattle tale manner?

Personally, if I were the author, I’d go after the paper and sue for something – anything. I am very disappointed in them. I always read the paper for the local news content and some of the columnists amused me. Not anymore. I think I’ll take my business elsewhere – any paper with a sense of ethics and maturity …. oh wait, that describes most papers ….geez guess I’ll buy a cave somewhere and move in to get away from this childish behaviour.

Really… spilling the beans on a children’s book? Good grief.
