Rumours that a Harry Potter themed restaurant may be opened are untrue, according to official sources.
The
rumour first surfaced two days ago via the
Business Journal.
Quote:
"The first concept -- T-Rex -- will debut in Kansas City, Mo., this fall, with additional sites slated for the Mall of America, Las Vegas and five other cities. His six other concepts -- Hot Dog Hall of Fame, Asia, China, Children in Motion, Aerobleu and Harry Potter -- all will open in various locations later on. "
CBBC Newsround has an article clearly debunking this rumour as 'untrue'.
Quote:
It's been reported that an American businessman was launching seven new restaurants and that one of them would have a Potter theme.
It was also reported that he'd spent hours on the phone with JK Rowling discussing the idea.
Quote:
a spokesperson for Warner Bros told CBBC Newsround that neither they, nor JK, had given permission of any kind.
And a representative for JK also told us that there was no truth in the reports that the author had been discussing the concept with the businessman.
