London, Oct 25 Warner Bros bosses have prohibited a British woman who runs a restaurant at her home from hosting a Harry Porter themed Halloween.

The female owner of The Underground Restaurant, in west London who calls herself Ms Marmite Lover, had planned foods and drinks taken by the Harry Porter characters - dandelion wine, pumpkin soup, Dumbledore's favourite sweets, like mint humbugs - for Halloween.

Guests had to give a password to a portrait of "Fat Lady" in the Diagon Alley (the side of the house) before they could enter.

However, Warner Bros has foiled her plans.

The Guardian quoted a letter to the woman from Warner Bros legal and business department as saying: "Dear Ms Marmite Lover. While we are delighted you are such a fan of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter properties... without our consent would amount to an infringement of Warner's rights."

The letter also said that the company is the owner of all things Harry Potter: the "name, stylised logo, the name of the characters, themes, incidents and other associated indicia from the series of... books and films."

Although, falling in line with Warner Bros suggestion Lover has changed the name of the feast to "Generic Wizard Night", she said: "I understand that you need to protect the rights but this is two dinners, one-offs, from which I am not making a profit, inspired by the books and the mentions of food in them. My daughter is a huge fan, even an obsessive." (ANI)
