J.K Rowling Sues ‘Harry Potter Encyclopedia’ Publishers

 
November 12, 2007 12:00 am CST 
 

The millionaire author and Warner Bros - who make the Harry Potter films - are attempting to block RDR Books from publishing a 400-page book based on the Harry Potter Lexicon website.

The author has previously praised Harry Potter Lexicon for its accurate, detailed information about her boy wizard creation, and in 2004 even presented it with a Fan Site Award.

But Rowling claims the book will infringe on her intellectual property rights and prevent her writing her own Harry Potter encyclopaedia.

"I cannot approve of 'companion books' or 'encyclopaedias' that seek to pre-empt my definitive Potter reference book for their authors' own personal gain." Rowling said.

Meanwhile, the world's most famous children's writer has just completed a set of handwritten fairytales, a spin-off from her Harry Potter books.
