From the article

According to a Russian newspaper, a major Moscow law firm is preparing to sue the moviemakers for alleged misuse of Putin's image. (Oddly, it is not clear from the coverage to what extent Putin himself is behind the suit.) The firm reportedly plans to allege that Dobby's creators intentionally based the house elf's appearance on Putin's.




This article is so funny, I am still laughing.

Many seem to see the likeness. Indeed, the BBC felt compelled, when juxtaposing images of the two, to add the following tongue-in-cheek caption: "President Putin is on the right."

ROTFL!!!!
