Three Cheers for magic Hari Puttar

Three Cheers for Hari!
A Bollywood movie entitled Hari Puttar will open as planned in India after beating off a legal challenge.

Warner Bros, which owns the rights to the blockbuster Harry Potter movies, argued the Indian film was too similar to its franchise. But lawyer Pratibha Singh said that consumers who read the Harry Potter books, written by JK Rowling, were sufficiently educated to know Hari Puttar was different.

“Our film bears no resemblance to the Hollywood film Harry Potter and it is a completely different story.”

Are you sufficiently educated to see the difference? I’m madly trying to think of an Australian version.
