((OOC: I am mad. As some of you who stuck around my blog around October last year might know I am lucky enough to live in a city that hosts a Harry Potter Festival in October each year. Freaking cool mate. Even though I had never heard about it until last year it has been around for 15 years. Even JK Rowling herself attended in 2010, my dudes.
So this is when it gets really bad: Warner Bros got involved this week. And they are not happy about the succes of the festival. Basically they’re not allowed to use any trademarked names and places etc. from the universe in the event from now on and I am so confused. This is a nonprofit event arranged by the city’s libraries and very much keeps the spirit of the universe intact. But giant companies gotta do what giant companies gotta do.
When I first read about the whole thing I thought they were gonna shut the festival down but luckily they have decided to continue by going around all the trademark stuff and changing the name of the festival from “Harry Potter Festival” to either “Magical Days” or “The Festival that must not be named” (I’m voting for this for obvious reasons).
So even though they now have to change every name to some lame Danish replacement I’m still excited to dress up as Parry Hotter and Won Reasley and going to Pigfarts once again this October and as last year I am officially inviting all of you to come too.
