Is Harry Potter hawking the British Coronation Throne?

Perhaps the question is better put, is Warner Brothers, the maker of the Harry Potter series of films, hawking the British Coronation Throne and, by extension, the British Monarchy itself?

A replica of the Westminster Coronation Throne has prominent place at the head of the mead hall at Hogwarts Academy as the following photos from three of the Harry Potter movies reveal.

But first some photos of the actual Westminster Coronation Throne.

This is a work in progress (15 February 2011). So please come back soon for more information!

First, here are some photos of the Westminster Coronation Throne at the coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953.

Below are photos snipped from three Harry Potter films. They show a close but not exact replica of the Westminster Coronation Throne. The likeness is close enough to make one wonder, what did the Warner Brothers producers have in mind exactly?

This is a work in progress (15 February 2011). Please come back soon for more information!
