The Boy Who Lived might also be the Ultimate Party Foul.
Entertainment Weekly has reported that a Harry Potter fan in the UK named Ms. Marmite Lover has gotten her Harry Potter-themed party quashed by Warner Bros., who said that the party would be infringing on their rights.
“My living room holds under 30 people, this is hardly some cynical money spinning exercise,” Ms. Lover said. “At a maximum of £25 a head I won’t make a profit, I’ll be struggling to cover the costs of the ingredients and props I’ve shelled out on, such as dry ice and miracle berries.”
Considering that money is being spent on the now “Generic Wizard Party,” WB probably has a leg to stand on with all this. But I’m just thinking Warner Bros. didn’t want to listen to the kids and the damn music:

Good God, there’s protective then there’s this. Ugh.

And then there’s being stupid enough to put it on the net and charge money for it, and act surprised when you get a C&D from Warner’s.
Idiots.
