Bit of a side quest, but are those Harry Potter shops the new front for money laundering/tax evasion on Oxford Street? All the 'American Sweet Shop' places have all been shut down after all...

Funny how Bobby Galbraith doesn't mind her trademarks being used for nefarious purposes, is her attention elsewhere?

Whoever owns the trademark must surely give a fuck all this is going on under the brand?
Not only on Oxford Street but also reported in Oxford

Harry Potter and the unpaid tax bill

Oh this story is a classic of the genre, the husband has previous so the new business is all in the Wife's name, but in Indian custom the surname isn't taken so Companies House or whatever doesn't notice the link.

TBF, once Bobby Galbraith hears her precious IP is being mentioned in the same breath as "High Street Tax Evasion" then this couple will have a whole other world of trouble beyond unpaid business rates. 😬

Business is HARD!
