JK Rowling Sues Durga Puja
The Durga Puja Pandal Committee in the FD Block of Salt Lake has come under the scanner for creating a pandal around the theme of Harry Potter


Apparently a Durga Puja pandal built as an homage to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was too much for JK Rowling and Warner Bros. to bear and they sued the poor neighborhood association.

Thankfully, the case was thrown out by a judge.

A small, neighborhood association building a pandal (per Wikipedia: "
a temporary structure set up to venerate the goddess Durga during Durga Puja") manages to go up against the richest woman in England and an American corporate behemoth and actually win.

See Rowling, miracles can happen in the real world!
