FD Block Pujo Committee of Saltlake city this time thought to give a huge surprise to the population during Durga Puja. They made Hogwarts castle in the huge play ground of FD block. The theme of this Puja committee was this year "Harry Potter" to attract higher numbers to people to their pujo. Remember the Hogwarts Castle where harry went to learn the Wizardry? If not pls find the video below.
This year the theme of FD block's pujo gimmick is "Harry Potter". But with a sudden astonishment the puja committee members have been called by the Delhi High Court and a case of copyright had been filed against them . This law suit had been filed by the legal associates of Ms J.K Rowling the famous author accusing stealing her theme without her acknowledgement.
This is a sheer copyright violation taking umbrage at the organisers using her characters without her permission, Rowling had sued the organizers on October 8, asking for Rs 20 lakh for copyright violation and compensation.
The Puja Commitee still believes that, they can minimize the compensation amount.
There were many terms like Plagiarism and copy & paste, mugging etc. Would it be suitable for this situation or we need to bring another new terms in wikipedia "Pandalism" or "Muggleism"? I'm sure the idea is great when people try to copy. FD block Puja is not a copy of Harry Potter, it had given Harry and his creator a new dimension in India.
Any how, we feel this debate would bring more crowds than what the Puja Committee was expecting in the coming four days during puja.
For the Potter lovers, the clip below had been given for a quick recollection. For more details find the The Hidustan Times.

The setting at FD Park was almost complete, with the blue tipped Hogwarts castle and the flaming red Hogwarts Express all set to chug off from platform 9-3/4.
The designers had planned to place life size models of the bespectacled Potter and his companions inside the pandal.
A whopping Rs 5 lakh has been invested in the pandal alone. “We did not have any commercial motive behind this. The immense popularity of Harry Potter prompted us to choose this as a theme to get more footfalls for our pandals,” said Roy Chowdhury.
ClickSaltlake would review the pandals and our Pujo section would have an extensive photo gallery for FD block for our viewers to find the simmilarities and voting.
