Childline is preparing for a deluge of calls from Harry Potter fans after the final book in the series goes on sale.

I'm sorry but isn't this going way over the top? Surely childline has better things to do. I only hope that these calls don't prevent a call getting through from somebody who is really in distress.

It may help children talk about existing issues they have with death in their family. If so, its positive.

But it's a book, just part of the HP publicity machine.

The world HAS gone mad, but it is a bit of publicity for Childline.
