Nice Headmistress

Today's asshole of the month is a Mrs. Carolyn E. Banfield, head mistress of the St. John's Primary School of Somerset, England. From The Sun Online:
Headmistress is a Harry Rotter
A Primary school head ruined the new Harry Potter book for pupils � by reading out the final page on the last day of term.

Youngsters looking forward to reading the best-seller over the summer holidays were left reeling as Carolyn Banfield gave the game away.

Nine-year-old pupil Louie Swift said: �I don�t know why she read it.

"She�s not usually a spoilsport."

�She didn�t even mention she had the book. She just picked it up and started reading it to us.�

Jordan Ashman, ten, said: �It has spoiled the book for me.�

An 11-year-old boy � whose mum would only name as Joe � said: �Lots of my friends complained about it.

"I put my hands over my ears and squeezed my eyes closed because I didn�t want to know about it.�

Mrs Banfield read the climactic extract from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows � the final book in JK Rowling�s massively popular series � to more than 400 kids at St John�s C of E school�s end of term assembly in Midsomer Norton, Somerset.
That is downright cruel. Typical of a frickin' Muggle...
