'Wyrd Sisters' Legal Trouble For 'Harry Potter 4'

[Wednesday, October 5th, 2005]
Harry Potter 4Warner Bros. could be facing a legal battle of the name of a band that features in their upcoming Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

An all-girl Canadian folk group, who also go by the same name "Wyrd Sisters", are said to be considering legal action over the name of a band featuring Pulp's Jarvis Cocker and Radiohead's Phil Selway and Jonny Greenwood. The scene features the "Wyrd Sisters" performing at the Hogwarts' Yule Ball in the fourth Harry Potter movie.

Folk group singer Kym Baryluk said, "It's a little late to be changing our name, not to mention very costly. We're quite sad about this. It has been messing us up for quite some time," she told Ananova. "We've had to cancel tours and delay the release of our new album. All of this is because we're not sure if we can continue under our name any more."
