You know in Return of the Jedi when Darth Vader finally has enough of the Emporer kicking the snott out of Luke? He picks up the Emporer and throws him down the shaft......WOULD SOMEONE THROW THIS THREAD DOWN THE SHAFT?
Potter Rights
I would just like to point out that Warner Brothers has the film rights. Scholastic has the book rights. Different toy companies have licenses to make products. The theme park attraction rights could be anywhere. Early on, the author's counsel could have anticipated there would be interest and made a seperate disposition of these rights to Disney. Warner Bros having film rights means absolutely nothing.

Except that Disney would have to strike a deal with Warner Brothers in order to use any likeness of the actors, monsters and locals used in the event they built an attraction. If no deal was struck, Disney would be forced to redesign everything, thus costing money that would limit the appeal of the ride. The movies are too popular to NOT immitate the look and feel of them, so yes, Warner Bros. having film rights DOES affect it.Lomma said:

if disney has to spend that kind of money on the rights for one attraction, they should just drop it. Potter is great but not that great, there are lots of other properties that Disney could take and build up on.

I think that may be the next ride theme they're working on.
Hopefully like buzz lightyear though, where you get to zap them with a "common sense blaster" that makes them see the errors of their ways.
