The Wyrd Sisters, a folk singing group from Winnipeg, Canada, have filed a lawsuit DEMANDING the destruction of all Harry Potter materials that bear their name. Crazy, right? Well, it’s true. Here are the details:
A Winnipeg folk group’s $40-million lawsuit against Warner Bros., the studio behind the Harry Potter films, calls for the destruction of all DVDs, CDs, video games and other items that refer to a musical act named The Weird Sisters.
“The Wyrd Sisters have spent over 15 years working on and developing the goodwill associated with their band’s name,” said the group’s statement of claim filed in Federal Court in Toronto recently.
“All of these efforts will be nullified as the goodwill is wiped out in the tidal wave of fame associated with the Harry Potter phenomenon.”
Ridiculous! What do you think of this? Honestly, do you think that they’d be suing for anything if they knew they couldn’t get an endless supply of money from the Harry Potter cash cow? Yeah, I don’t think so!
