IT'S not every movie star who has a condom named after them.
But Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter has become a brand of condom in Switzerland and Warner Bros is not happy.
The Swiss condom brand "Harry Popper" is reportedly being sued for copyright infringement by the studio.
Gawker.com details the hubbub with a broken-English quote from the Swiss newspaper Bote: "For Warner Bros. is obvious: The sorcerer Harry Potter have a 'very positive image.' Condoms have no business there. Especially not now. According to Warner Bros. in November to plan the launch of the new Potter movie. Also a new video game is in preparation. The lawyer for Warner Bros. bluntly: 'The image of my client is in danger.'
There is no denying the correlation between the latex protectors and the popular wizard movie. If the name didn't do it for you, the illustration of a condom swinging a wand and wearing round-frame glasses will.

This seems like a good parody and not copyright infringement.

They could change it to Nobby Topper if they loose the case but I have one question. Where does the little hand with the wand go?
