The rock band at the Yule Ball is comprised mostly of members of Pulp and Radiohead. In the run-up to the movie, a Canadian folk group called the Wyrd Sisters filed a $40 million lawsuit against Warner Brothers, the North American distributor of this movie, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp, and Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway, of Radiohead, for the use of their group's name. In the book, the band is called the "Weird Sisters," after the witches in William Shakespeare's "Macbeth," but was reportedly renamed the "Wyrd Sisters" for this movie. Before the movie was released, however, Warner Brothers removed all references to either name for the band. In a deleted scene included on the DVD, Professor Flitwick introduced the band as "The band that needs no introduction." Nevertheless, the Wyrd Sisters moved for an injunction in a Canadian court to prevent distribution of this movie in Canada. This motion was dismissed by an Ontario judge.
