I Think it is fairly standard commercial practice - the UK Store 
Marks and Spencers for example has registered as trademarks a number 
of variations on its name (such as 'Marks and Sparks') to prevent 
commercial shenanigans. After the 'Rah and the Muggles' nonsense I 
wouldn't blame the publishes for taking preventive action.

On the other hand they would say that wouldnt they?
