An Indian court today (Monday) is expected to hear a lawsuit brought by Warner Bros. against a Bollywood producer whose latest movie is titled Hari Puttar -- A Comedy of Terrors. Warner's claims that the title is too close to the titles of its Harry Potter movies. The movie, produced by Mumbai-based Mirchi Movies and due to be released on September 12, concerns a 10-year-old boy whose family moves to England. Britain's Guardian newspaper headlined its story about the matter, "Hari Puttar and the half-baked lawsuit?"
