The Sun Article

[Susan Atherton]

Oh my god!!

I just read the Sun article accompanying the pics from PoA. It mentions that 

"In the third film from JK Rowling's stories, Harry - played by Daniel Radcliffe - escapes in the Ministry of Magic bus after he is confronted in the street by baddie Sirius Black, in the form of a black dog."

Bit of a flippin spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the books!!! They might as well have said "Oh yeah, and Sirius is really Harry's godfather and he's innocent!" 

Honestly, I've read enough articles saying they are having trouble casting for Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, which annoyed me - they did NOT need to say he was Harry's godfather, the phrase "titular Prisoner" would have done. But Sirius being Harry's GF and James' best friend isn't really THAT much of spoiler, but the fact that S is an Animagus is key to the Shrieking Shack scene!!

Personally I think we all secretly think that any morons who are watching the films and haven't been moved to read the books deserve it (I sure do ;) ), but for Christ's sake, I'd be very annoyed if I was just a casual HP watcher. Some people don't really care about the story but see the films because they are pretty amazing as far as SFX go, (Quidditch, for example) and they're a bit sunk with all these spoilers floating around. Ah, for the days when it was not a case of barricading yourself in a bunker if you wanted to escape Star Wars and HP spoilers...

:)

Rant over.
