Expelliamus Trademark Registratum! Harry Potter's Trademark Registration Spell

Expelliamus Trademark Registratum!

Ahead of the opening of the 'Making of Harry Potter' theme studio attraction in scheduled for Spring 2012, Warner Brothers has gone trademark mad, recently filing EU Community Trade Mark applications for THE MAKING OF HARRY POTTER in no less than 19 Classes of the OHIM Trade Mark Register in addition to a suite of other familiar characters including:

HERMIONE GRAINGER
RAVENCLAW
SLYTHERIN
HUFFLEPUFF
MARAUDERS MAP
NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM
HOGWARTS EXPRESS
HONEYDUKES

In 2010, Warner Bros. purchased Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England, which is the place where all of the 'Harry Potter' films were produced. It is located about 20 miles outside of London. According to the attraction's website, the Making of Harry Potter studio tour will last three hours, and allow us Muggles to see actual sets from the series, including the Great Hall and Dumbledore's office. The Great Hall set will come to life as fans get to see its solid stone floor and the same tables and benches that the wizards-in-training used in the first film, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' Dumbledore's office will be another treat on the tour, offering Potterheads a chance to see the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Gryffindor, as well as paintings from the films.

Nothing like the power of a brand.........provided it is protected by trademark registration.

Tickets go on sale later this year.
