I knew Harry Potter sucks but I didn't expect this:

The new Harry Potter film contains a scene where Harry's owl has to fly around the interior of Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, the candle-lit castle was not the easiest place for an owl to navigate. Two owls flew into the candles and burned to death.

Each time this happened, the children were ushered out of the room while a replacement was found. Then they were brought back in, shown the owl and told "look, he's fine!"

Boycott Harry Potter today!

Update: Well, it seems like this story isn't true. Popbitch have retracted it so I guess I should, too. Scheesh! Harry Potter still sucks, however. Film at 10.
