Just Jen: Harry Potter condom controversy

Because when I think Harry Potter… I think condoms. At least that is what the Swiss condom manufacturing company, Magic X, thinks. The company is being sued by Warner Brothers over their brand of “Harry Popper” condoms, which feature a cartoon condom on the front dressed in glasses and holding a wand. “The image of my client is in danger,” said a lawyer for Warner Bros. “This is clearly a reference to the film and fictional character Harry Potter.” I find it rather normal that 1) condoms are being named after children’s books characters 2) that the word “popper” is being used to sell/describe the product.

Harry Potter has a girlf?

The ambiguously gay tween-turned-actual-adult-but-still-plays-a-high-schooler is allegedly dating this, ahem, young lady, niece to some British bajillionaire who finances the HP films:

Match made in Hogsmeade? Or perhaps too many butterbeers…

I don’t remember this part in the Harry Potter series…

On a day when we are all celebrating America by nursing outrageous hangovers and third degree burns from ill-advised sparkler incidents, keep in mind what freedoms we wouldn’t be experiencing without those who fought.

From BBC:

“Afshan Azad, 22, was cast as Padma Patil, a classmate of the child wizard in the film series.

Abdul Azad, 54, and his son Ashraf, 28, are alleged to have threatened her at her Longsight home. The 28-year-old is also accused of assaulting his sister.

Both men appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

The case was adjourned until July 12 for committal proceedings to Manchester Crown Court.”

Since the BBC refused to use the word “Muslim” or “Islam” anywhere in this article, I will point out the obvious–that this BS needs to not be making its way into American culture (via Ground Zero mosque, shar’ia law, and the list goes on…).

You know would agree with me? This guy:

It was quite the weekend here in DC, with Washingtonians shaking off their post-season blues with some parties and gatherings. Happy birthday to RNC powerhouse Cherie Short, who celebrated her birth in a fury of boas and pink at her swanky Georgetown home. Attendees were well-mannered and heavy-handed with the liquor pouring.

Also seen in DC this week was none other than He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, who checked into the sumptuous Mandarin Hotel of Southwest Friday night. No word yet if he set up the lobby’s fireplace to be part of the Floo Network.

Harry Pot-ter takes his role seriously

Daniel Radcliffe, the homoquestionable stud of the Harry Potter movie series and famed for his naked love connection to horses in Equus, has been fielding questions about a photograph that apparently features him smoking marijuana. This accusation could put him in hot water with his tween audience, which reveres Radcliffe as the wholesome, evil-fighting wizard of the movie screen. Those tweens may also be disappointed to discover that Radcliffe doesn’t actually successfully cast spells, or jam out on the quidditch field.

The accusation comes a few months after another Harry Potter actor, Jamie Waylett, who plays Victor Crabbe, confessed to growing cannibis plants–ten of them!–in his home.
