Was the “Something Wicked This Way Comes†tag line to the Prisoner Of Azkaban movie poster taken from the eponymous 1962 Ray Bradbury novel?

I remember seeing this Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban poster when I was younger and thinking that the "Something Wicked This Way Comes" tag line was very catchy and incredibly clever. I was always somewhat mildly curious how they came up with the line:
However I've most recently today just happened upon this Wikipedia article on a 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury with the same name: Something Wicked This Way Comes (novel).
I was wondering if the tag line may have been borrowed from the novel or where it might have originally come from. I know many people in art and music can borrow from one another, and I was wondering whether this same line was independently created or taken from a previous source of inspiration such as the Ray Bradbury novel.

-1 for "Stolen" (Bradbury was not deprived of anything by the film poster, nor intended to be deprived of anything.) Will reverse if you edit to something like "borrowed."

@Lexible I think you need to be more specific as to why you find the use of stolen to be a downvotable offense - especially since this is a new OP. The question seems perfectly valid to me.

@KennyPeanuts I do not think I do need to be more specific. Thanks for the input.

I put a lot of clarification of what I meant in the question body itself. I have also changed the title to taken and hope that suits you better.

It's from the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare:
By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. Open,
locks, Whoever knocks.

And possibly worth noting that divination by recognising painful feelings, twinges and itches in the fingers and hands were an ancient Roman tradition. An itchy left palm augured the arrival of money. A pain in the finger or thumbs would foretell the arrival of evil
