Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is suing the organisers of an Indian religious festival for building a canvas and papier mache replica of Hogwarts Castle. According to one of the organizers, they have also built a model of the Titanic but have not been sued. Well, no they wouldn't have, would they; the Titanic was real, Hogwarts only exists in the imagination. Does anybody else see the irony here?

Rowling and her publishers, Bloomsbury, are demanding payment of two million rupees to the British author before allowing the Indian Hogwarts to be completed.

Where's Dumbledore when you need him?

Ah, yes, he died, didn't he.
