    Radiohead/Pulp Harry Potter Supergroup In Legal Dispute

    no more commoners please!The Harry Potter supergroup containing members of Radiohead and Pulp are at the centre of a legal dispute over their name.

    The band featuring Phil Selway and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead and Jarvis Cocker from Pulp are due to perform in the film ‘Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire’ under the guise of the Wyrd Sisters.

    However, a Canadian all girl group claim that they also use the name and are threatening legal action against the company behind the film Warner Brothers.

    Canadian ‘Wyrd Sisters’ singer Kym Baryluk told The Sun:  "It's a little late to be changing our name, not to mention very costly. We're quite sad about this. It has been messing us up for quite some time.

    "We've had to cancel tours and delay the release of our new album. All of this is because we're not sure if we can continue under our name any more."
