"The illegal copying and distribution of movies is theft," the studio told AP. "Warner Bros takes the threat of internet piracy very seriously and employs all legal means to contain the unauthorised copying and distribution of our films on the internet."
The film - the second to be adapted from the popular series of children's books - opens this Friday. The first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was also premiered on the internet by pirates.
