Last but not least: Harry Potter performs magic for Magic X
Warner Bros. is quick to react when someone tries to capitalize on the success of the blockbuster «Harry Potter.» Recently, the film studio tried to block a Bollywood movie titled «Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors»—but to no avail. Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Magic X. The reason: The Swiss adult novelty chain sells condoms under the name «Harry Popper.».
Admittedly, there are other parallels besides the name: The pink sipped condom depicted on the packaging wears nickel glasses and waves a magic wand in its hand. However, it is doubtful whether there is any real risk of confusion. The Schwyz cantonal court will decide in the coming days. The question is, however, whether Warner Bros' fight is not in vain. After all, half the porn film industry would have to be sued. There are plenty of funny imitations of blockbuster titles: "Lord of the Strings" and "Strip Slowly" are just two creative outpourings.
