Bizarre Al says Warner Bros. denied Harry Potter parody

You’re a lizard, Harry! Bizarre Al has revealed that Warner Bros. denied his request to put in writing and report a Harry Potter parody titled “Hedwig’s Theme.”

Whereas selling Bizarre: The Al Yankovic Story, Bizarre Al revealed that he went to Warner Bros. for permission however was snubbed. “At any time when it was, a few decade or two in the past, I approached the film firm simply to get a common blessing like, ‘Hey, I’d love to do a Harry Potter parody.’ And I believe they stated no, or they by no means responded or no matter…However typically while you’re coping with franchises, and also you ask permission, you realize, there’s so many individuals that may say no, and so they often do.”

It must be famous that Yankovic doesn’t really need permission, as parody falls underneath honest use. However since he’s the world’s best particular person, he determined to ask for permission anyway. Or perhaps he didn’t need one other Coolio scenario…Bizarre Al has executed parodies of main franchises earlier than, like “The Saga Begins”, an “American Pie” parody about The Phantom Menace, and “Ode to a Superhero”, a “Piano Man” parody in regards to the first Spider-Man film.

It appears as if Bizarre Al has discovered a lesson from this. “If I’m doing a franchise, it’s often higher simply to do it and say sorry relatively than permission.”

Nonetheless, Bizarre Al did find yourself with a tie to the Harry Potter franchise in any case, as Daniel Radcliffe wound up taking part in the accordion-slingin’ icon in Bizarre: The Al Yankovic Story. “Perhaps that’s what this movie is…This has been his method of doing a Harry Potter parody,” stated Radcliffe. Yankovic tied all of it collectively, saying, “We prefer to suppose that [Weird: The Al Yankovic Story] is the final film of the Harry Potter franchise.” Now a showdown between Bizarre Al and Voldemort is one thing we have to see.
