Where was the PynheadLine to give me a counselling when I learned about
Webb's death?
'As a trickle of leaks and early reviews lends rising weight to the rumours
that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will see the demise of several of
the series' key characters, ChildLine has announced that it will be laying
on extra staff to cope with an expected surge in calls from grief-stricken
fans.
The helpline, which offers a free and confidential 24-hour counselling
service to children and young people, has asked its volunteers to take on
extra shifts over the coming days, on the grounds that the death of a
well-loved character could spark feelings of "loss and bereavement" among
younger readers. Waterstone's, which is hosting a glittering launch party at
its flagship store on Piccadilly this evening, is making a donation to
ChildLine to help alleviate the burden of the anticipated increase in caller
numbers.'
