American entertainment company Warner Bros. fears that an ongoing legal battle between actors Johnny Depp and his former wife, Amber Heard, might cast a negative light on its Harry Potter movie franchise.

Former Pirates of the Caribbean star Depp, 55, is suing Heard, 32, in a Virginia court for $50 million, claiming that she allegedly defamed him in an opinion editorial she had published in the Washington Post back in December 2018. The op-ed stated that Heard was the victim of domestic violence.
