Ananova report:

A cinema owner in Norway says he is fed up with children being sick when they watch Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.

Young children are apparently finding the scene when Ron Weasley begins vomiting slugs too much.

Stavanger cinema manager Gudrun Romsbotn says on average they have one child in every screening that becomes ill.
After spending years looking for a surefire protagonist that clicks with children, Russian writer Dmitry Yemets finally has found one: an 11-year-old orphan who wields magical powers, casts spells to vanquish the chief villain, attends a school for young witches and wears glasses.

No, it's not Harry Potter. This orphan's name is Tanya Grotter.

J.K. Rowling, the British creator of the $1.5 billion Harry Potter juggernaut, was struck enough by the not-so-coincidental similarity between Tanya and Harry that she is threatening to sue Yemets if he does not make his 413-page "Tanya Grotter and Her Magical Double-Bass" disappear.
