Harry Potter band in legal wrangle
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Oct 5 (IANS) The producers of the "Harry Potter" series are facing a legal battle over the name of the one-off band which includes members of the real life rock bands Pulp and Radiohead.
According to ananova.com, a rock band called the Wyrd Sisters performs at the Hogwarts' Yule Ball in the upcoming movie "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire". But the name is already taken by an all-girl Canadian folk band that now wants to take legal action.
In the movie, the Wyrd Sisters band will feature the lead singer Jarvis Cocker from Pulp and Phil Selway and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead. The real Wyrd Sisters are threatening to sue since they say they have been using the name for the past 15 years.
Singer Kym Baryluk says, "It's a little late to be changing our name, not to mention very costly. We're quite sad about this. It has been messing us up for quite some time. We've had to cancel tours and delay the release of our new album. All of this is because we're not sure if we can continue under our name any more."
