    Harry Potter fans with laugh or cry at the latest copycat release out of India called "Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors."

    Although the name sounds similar to the world famous Harry Potter character, that is where the similarities end.

    "Hari Puttar" tells of a 10 year-old boy who moved from India to England with his family. Feeling a little depressed and unwanted, Hari looks to his fantasy world friend Funtoon to help cheer him up.

    A family trip is planned and the family leaves in the morning in such a hurry that Hari is left behind.

    Burglars decide to try to steal from the house and Hari, who was left behind with his cousin, decides to protect their valuables.

    This “Home Alone” and “Harry Potter” mashup has angered many fans as well as Warner Brothers, who has decided to sue to stop the release of the movie.
    Outside of stealing two plots from popular movies, Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors, looks pretty funny so check it out if you can.
