Got this tip from a friend on Twitter... Thanks to The Warehouse we can buy "Harry Potter" ink for your printer instead of "HP":

The page is here, link under "View by brand".

My contacts at HP were notified... I asked for an update. Interesting to find out how the prank happened.

I thought this would have been fixed by now. I saw it a year ago and pointed it out to my brother in law who manages one of the stores and he had a good laugh about it. I hadnt really looked again and assumed it would have been fixed. Obviously not

NDrive on my Android phone always expands 'St' out to 'Street'. So you get mildly amusing things like "Street Johns Terrace" and "Street Davids Street". Perhaps something similar is going on with HP.

Maybe it's the first step of HP re-branding/renaming itself to attract a younger market.

It's the HP brand, I contacted HP. They can contact The Warehouse and find out what's going on.
