Potter six spoiler hung over road

Fans of Harry Potter were warned to stay away from a road in Shropshire after a spoil-sport hung up a banner saying which character dies.

Readers knew there would be a big death in the Half-Blood Prince but security was so tight it was kept a secret.

But then a banner appeared over the A442 in Telford announcing who meets a sticky end in the sixth book.

Luckily workmen removed the banner after a few hours before the plot was ruined for too many people.
