JK Rowling and WB sue Indian community
The group had also hired artists to create a replica of the Hogwarts Express, the train that Harry Potter and his young wizard friends take to the school, as well as life-sized models of the main figures in the best-selling series of books.
The group has spent about $30,000 for its replica, called a pandal.
"It's just a theme.… We have also modelled the Titanic and no-one sued us," said another organizer, Robin Mukherjee.
A lawyer will try to fight the lawsuit on Friday. For the full story, click here.

yeah why not ask for some cheesecake?? or some rice..
s'allright radish, everyone has their petpeeves when it comes to the world in general. And I wouldnt say Columbus had no sense of direction, more like no sense of geography. ~~As for ginevraweasley, all I have to say on the matter, is that politics is a tricky thing, no matter what you do, one group of people are going to hate you. no matter what.
Duffanator alll im saying is that theres prolly more on the sbject.... hey danny!! danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! HIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wuts up? lol!
by the way, i don't hate americans, i chose became an american citizen. the thing is, i have too many stuck up chauvenists at school, all of whom should look up the definition of "gay" and "retarded" at some point. So, no hate here, just drastically different opinions.
I agree with you so much ginerva_weasley3. Just curious, what country are you from?
'ello guys! whats up?
arii!!!! hey!!!!! nm!!!!!! nice to meeet you!!!!!!!! spiffing
yes it is!!!!!!!! how are u???????????????????
dont feel to special ginerva, my school does the same thing, not exactly a one place lingo going on there.
oh!!!!!! i'm doing fine, fine!!!!!!!!!! no football practice today!!!!!!!!!!! hbu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? ???????
im from england. snape, to be exact. wondeful place, brilliant name. i moved to arizona when i was six though. i miss the cold. and dragon queen, i know that not everyone will love me. im just one of those people that hates fighting and such. why can't we all just give out free hugs?
I dont not like you ginerva, I just dont like it when people go on rants on how the 'u.s is horrible because~.~' its really annoying ,especiall ywhen you think the Us is made of 1 mill people, and not all come from the same culture.
lol dragon queen, i know its not unique. i hate that people use gay as a synonym for idiot. worse, there is a gay guy, one of my best friends, in my class. When i pointed this out to someone, they said "well thats different". i think some people's heads are just full of rubbish.
Dragon- Sorry, I didn't see your last post before posting. And you're right, geography is probably a better word to use. ginerva- Me too! I really think wars, fighting, hate in general is horrible. I wish so much that the world wasn't so violent. And I think everyone has been to schools like that or has class mates like that. Most annoying people on Earth, but we all have to put up with them.
good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too bad u dont have football!!!!!!!!!! u dont get to sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heyy yoo everyone
hey cheesecakes!!!!!!! what's up??
too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??? that's good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rite?????????!!!!!!!!!!! those canadiens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! always thinking about sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well yes that is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! canadians rock okay????????? oh and canadian is only spelt canadiEN when ur french!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! hi guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the eternal 'violence' question. The day war ends, is the day siblings dont fight, football, wrestling, and every violent game (including chess) is outlawed, and quakers/jinism people take over. Even then, a very giver/1984 thing would have to happen. We were fighting just a moment ago, for wars not to happen, every little arguement could not happen.
hey danny what state do you live in?
heyy siruis, honny, danny, and moonshine. what is everyone up to?
Please--our seniors had Harry Potter as their theme for Homecoming decorations and constructed a giant castle. Are they going to get sued too?
hey hpfanx...aw, nothing...just hw agin.!
dragon, i just think that when all america cares is war and violence, and glorify them on the telly, i think we need to re-examine or priorities. I refuse to watch CSI and programs like us, seeing as they disgust me and make it seem as if murder, casual sex, and other things are cool. When someone can get Eric and McKenzie back, i'll rethink my opinions. War can be solved, we just need to learn compassion and acceptance. And chess is a far cry from violence. At least in my opinion. But, if peace means a giver-like society, i'd be very sad indeed. Perhaps something more like Ender's Game, sans the Buggers?
i live in TX, moon. hey hpfanx! u didn't know i was french!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? ???? flueshes pretuet von vaudenvawden?
I'm not saying arguing should stop. But violence, wars, killing, genocide.. that should stop. But it probably never will. Violence is practically ingrained in human nature. Either way, I'm leaving now. I really need to get my homework done. So bye!
Never heard of enders game. but look. We jsut had an arguement (albeit short) over the internet. Now, say two countrys had a small arguement,then it gets bigger and both countrys have tanks, whats gonna happen?
OH YEAH GO TEXAS WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LONGHORNS LONGHORNS LONGHORNS!
hey everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im here!!!!!!!!!!!!! yayayayayayayayay cheese cake rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
ginerva, not ALL of america cares about violence and war...actually MOST ppl. are against the war in iraq...more like 3/4...
in case someone is interested: the festival is a famous one in east india, especially bengal. its called durga puja. every years thousands (> 10,000) "pandals" (temp. temples made of bamboo, cloth and paper) come up in the city for the godess whose festival this is. many of these pandals are made using a theme. there is no profit to it. i know coz i am from calcutta, the capital of west bengal) and have seen many pandals with many many themes, including titanic and the pantheon of athens. NO PROFIT. i think suing over something like this is dumb. if nothing, it will create more hype for harry potter.
niiiiice danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wuts this mean then??????????? comment ta pel tu????????????? comment ca va????????????
Je mappelle Dragon, Je ne sais pas, Je ne parle pas francais. So Dan, if 3/4 of the wrold is againts the war, then how id Bus hget elected?

jkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not french!!!!!!!! i made those words up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!! HOOK EM BABAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HORNS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. He wrote a section in the Great Snape Debate. Anyway! I think that people who overreact to small arguments need to control their tempers. If I was a country, I wouldn't bomb you right now. Look at the Holocaust. Hitler was an insecure freak, offended that Germany had been bested. Genocide ensues, horrid event in history. The world cries "Never Again!". About fifty years later, Rwanda. People can't forgive and forget, so decide to inflict pain on those who once wronged them. Less than two decades after that was resolved, Darfur is raging. This has been happening for god knows how long. Murder is the first thing humans learned. Without it we probably would ahve died off, but the thing is, we can't kill each other into extinction. We can't just a play the "they started it!" game. We are ONE race, ONE species. But we have to showboat our abilities and exact revenge on everyone. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
GO LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! woooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! y are u guys insulting americans???????????????? ???
exactly, I read this really interesting artice, titled WHY WE DONT CARE ABOUT DARFUR. The reason is, that the Xmillion amount woh have died is just a number, not really people, a girl gets kidnapped and thats all you see on the news for weeks. basic psychology. Numbers.
hi people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am aware that not all of america loves the war, thank you. but the ratings of shows like CSI speak volumes. 25 million people tuned in for the season premiere. Look at that number and tell me America doesn't love gore filled entertainment. Don't even get me started on video games like Manhunt.
OH YEAH! HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!!!! WOOT-WOOT!!!!!!!!
hey dragon queen, no. 1- i was talking about 3/4 of AMERICANS...and maybe everyone's not psychic...how were we supposed to know that bush was gonna go for the war against iraq and send troops in??? GO CALGARY!!!!!!!! YEAH FLAMES!!!!!!!
sorry, meant u.s, my bad :)
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER MY NAME??????????
i dunno y everyones insultin americans? im canadian yes and george bush is a retard yes but everyone is pretty biased to americans u noe? YAY FLAMES!!!!!!
oh im sorry! hi harry8! i was just so happy that another texan was here! i should pay more attention!
isnt ur name annoyingpaininthearsewhod oesntknowhowtoshutup? yeah thats it!
in reality, we didn't want bush as president in the first place. Al Gore and John Kerry won the popular vote, but Bush won electorial college. Which should be aboloished. It's outdated. But that debate is for another day.
hey since i like both the dallas cowboys and the texas longhorns. i've come up with a new saying: HOOK 'AS LONGBOYS!!!! YEAHH HOOK 'AS LONGBOYS!!!! righto ari..
