Isn't that terrible?


When we imagine young Harry Potter, we first think of the tousled mop of hair,
 the lightning-bolt-shaped scar, and the John Lennon-esque glasses. 
Pretty soon, we might have to add a can of Diet Coke to that picture. 

A special screening of soon-to-be blockbuster Harry Potter 
and the Sorcerer's Stone in Washington, D.C., 
on Sunday was greeted by a small band of protesters from an interest group 
accusing Coca-Cola of using its sponsorship of the movie to peddle junk food to children. 


In February, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola, the world's No. 1 soft-drink company, signed 
a $150 million partnership with AOL-Time Warner Inc., making it the sole global 
marketing partner for the Warner Bros. movie, which is based on the popular 
Harry Potter children's books by J.K. Rowling.
