Sounds like a terrilby risky business: What if Lord Vol^H^H^H^H the
lawyers of the marchadise company find out and come for their 1000%
share of the profits?

He's not claiming any relationship to the movie on his site, and magic wands
were certainly readily available in commerce before the Harry Potter movies
so it seems unlikely that they would have a chance of collecting anything.


That seems to be a reasonable conclusion. Nothing original in the idea
of magic wands. If he tries to tie them to the movie, then he's got
problems, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Besides, he's small potatoes in the wand business.

That may be so, but that kind of thing has never stopped the suits at W
Disney from descending like a flock of angry dragons on any gray-haired
Grandma who would dare to make a non-licensed craft project that remotely
resembles the mouse or the duck.
