On the very day the not-so-young wizard debuted in his final onscreen performance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, lawyers for his studio, Warner Bros., have zapped a South Miami bake shop.
This morning, we reported about the Harry Potter-themed sweet treats at Sweetness Bake Shop & Café on Sunset Drive. But, we have just learned, the shop’s owners — who also steward the area’s first dessert truck, Sugar Rush — have received a cease-and-desist letter arguing the names of Harry’s treats are proprietary.
What a bunch of muggles!
The shop’s response: Cave in. Kind of. Owners renamed — only slightly — replicas of the weird foods served in the multiple-part Potter bonanza.
