Movie executives behind the successful Harry Potter franchise are taking legal action against a Swiss condom brand for allegedly naming their products after the boy wizard.
According to reports, bosses at the Warner Bros. studio filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the company making Harry Poppers, whose packets feature an illustration of a condom wearing round glasses and waving a magic wand.
The legal action is said to come in a bid to banish the brand from stores ahead of the release of the next installment of the movie franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, in November.
A lawyer for Warner Bros. said: "The image of my client is in danger."
