Producers sue over Harry Potter condoms
Aug 20, 2010 IANSLondon, Aug 20 (IANS) Movie executives behind the successful Harry Potter franchise are taking legal action against a Swiss condom brand for allegedly naming their products after the boy wizard.
Bosses at the Warner Bros. studio filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the company making Harry Poppers, whose packets feature an illustration of a condom wearing round glasses and waving a magic wand, reports imdb.com.
The legal action is said to come in a bid to banish the brand from stores ahead of the release of the next installment of the movie franchise, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I', in November.
