Hmm...I wonder what that means for all those book- and movie-tie-in parties libraries and bookstores do?

Harry Potter themed dinner banned for 'infringing copyright'
The not-for-profit event, which has been renamed "Generic Wizard Night", was to have a menu of dandelion wine, pumpkin soup and Dumbledore's favourite - mint humbugs. Guests would have been led down 'Diagon Alley' by the side of the house and been met by a portrait of the "Fat Lady" who would have demanded a password before they could be let in.....

Other companies have welcomed their brands being used in Ms Marmite's themed evenings. When she hosted a Marmite-themed dinner, rather than sending her a warning letter, Marmite made sure she was fully stocked up with plenty of Marmite - all for free.

(Marmite, incidentally, is the yeasty spread of goodness (at least to consumers in Britain--I've never personally partaken) that is similar to Australia's Vegemite.)

Thanks, Steven, for the link.
