in 2005, warner bros. offered cad$5,000 (later cad$50,000) to the canadian folk band the wyrd sisters for the rights to use their name in the film version of "harry potter and the goblet of fire". rowling had written a scene in the novel in which a band called the weird sisters appeared at a school dance, and the group owned the rights to the name in canada. however, the offer was declined, and instead the band undertook a legal action against warner bros., as well as jarvis cocker of pulp and jonny greenwood and phil selway of radiohead, who were to play the band in the film. all plans to use the name in the movie were later abandoned. despite that decision, the canadian band filed a cad$40-million ($39 million) lawsuit against warner in ontario court. in connection with the lawsuit, the band brought an interlocutory injunction hoping to prevent the release of the film. the injunction application was dismissed. the entire suit was dismissed in november 2005. in june 2006, an ontario judge decreed that the band pay warner bros. cad$140,000 in legal costs, describing their lawsuit as "highly intrusive". the group claimed they planned to appeal the decision. jarvis cocker initially wished to release an album of "weird sisters"-themed music with collaborators including franz ferdinand, jack white and iggy pop, but the project was dropped as a result of the lawsuit. the wyrd sisters reported death threats from irate "harry potter" fans. as of march 2010, the lawsuit has been settled out of court, the details sealed.
