क्या पंगा है हर्री पोर्टर का? जब हमारा पुरा हिंदुस्तान चुराया था तब???
As we all know Durga Puja festival is coming up, starting from 18th October. So to celebrate the festival, one group in Calcutta has chosen a theme of their pandal or shrine as a Harry Potter’s “Hogwarts School”.
Little did they knew, that they will be fined £25,000, by Harry Potter author JK Rowling. The publisher Penguin India took legal action on behalf of the Author, against the organisers for breach of copyright. Delhi High Court ruled yesterday that the people must remove the display or pay the fine.
The organisers of this year’s event, which starts next Wednesday, said they could not afford the penalty and would ask the court to reconsider its ruling today.
Said Subhabrata Bhattacharjee, a member of the festival committee:
We created the structure to entertain people. Many Puja organisers replicate many other things but nothing of this sort has ever happened before.
Anyway the good news is JK Rowling has lost the legal battle against the replica.
