Rowling cries foul over Potter book
Toronto Star – Feb 29, 2008
In papers filed for a lawsuit in Manhattan, J. Rowling says she feels betrayed by a fan, Steven Vander Ark, for his role in trying to publish an unauthorized reference work, âHarry Potter Lexicon. ââ Ark is editor of a website containing a fan-created collection of essays and encyclopedic material on the Potter universe, including lists of spells and potions found in the books, a catalog of magical creatures and a whoâs who in the wizarding world…
âI am deeply troubled by the portrayal of my efforts to protect and preserve the copyrights I have been granted in the Harry Potter books,â she wrote in court papers filed Wednesday in a lawsuit she brought against the small Muskegon, Mich. She said she intends to publish her own definitive Harry Potter encyclopedia. âIf RDRâs position is accepted, it will undoubtedly have a significant, negative impact on the freedoms enjoyed by genuine fans on the Internet,â she said. âAuthors everywhere will be forced to protect their creations much more rigorously, which could mean denying well-meaning fans permission to pursue legitimate creative activities. ââ She added: âI find it devastating to contemplate the possibility of such a severe alteration of author-fan relations. ââ RDR Books attorney Lizbeth Hasse said Thursday that Rowling is seeking a monopoly over the work, which is not part of copyright law.

I’m committed to catching up one movie a weekend now that things are out on demand. Last weekend I watched "Ratatouille" (liked it a lot). This weekend I can’t even decide on a genre I want to see! My choices are- "Michael Clayton," "Harry Potter," "Borne Ultimatum," "Superbad" and "Waitress. " What would you watch this weekend?Desson Thomson: Indecision-ville — what a place to live. So many of us live there too. I would say that (and without being wishy-washy, or "everyone wins in kids soccer" about it), all of those movie in their own different ways are entertaining…
I would say that (and without being wishy-washy, or "everyone wins in kids soccer" about it), all of those movie in their own different ways are entertaining. Although I liked the latest Harry Potter the second least of the series this time around. (The first one was the worst, I think. )_______________________Arlington, Va. : Hey Desson, any word on "The Bank Job"?Desson Thomson: Yes, I am writing it right now. The review, that is, not the movie.

But like you all say, WHAT ABOUT RUPERT! I mean he was in Harry Potter and part of the trio wasnt he? It wasn’t part of my imagination was it? I mean, correct me if im wrong, but he did grow up like emma and dan, from similar age, same career, and yet, Oh whats this, they forget rupert in the under 30’s list, Did they just delete him from their own minds? WE SURE DIDNT! Next time, give all 3 of them an award for something like this, or none at all! WELL thats just my opinion!! Posted by Katheryn on February 29, 2008 @ 09:09 AM. the-leaky-cauldron.
