We would suppose that the Harry Potter's author (and I hope I am not too severely fined for copyright infringment of this unspeakable name), has too quickly forgotten the bitter and sad days when she used to wane off in the gloomy pubs, warm ale pint in hand, losing sight of life and longing for a bad-intended stroke of a bad breathed, broken teeth, blue collar molester.

All too fast human beings forget modesty when riding the waves of vanity, arrogance and borrowed royalty.

I can image her maid being whipped twenty times for bringing her tea one tenth of a degree colder.

Hail Lady Rowling! may you soon drown in your sea of sterlings and leave some room in this world for another badly needed, greedless, Florence Nightingale or Madame Curie. Let's not worry; old man Chronos shall take care of this sooner than you think

Who can possibly be advising JK Rowling? Has she lost her marbles? This case isn't about how hard she worked to create her books or how bad she feels about a fan publishing an encyclopedia of it. It's about whether or not the law allows a reference work to be published about books which have sold ZILLIONS of copies worldwide. She should spend her time - and her fortune - on something more worthy of her talent.

Oh, cry me a river, you pathetic snivelling little bitch! This is a FAN tribute to characters that you created that the writers love. If anything, you should be honored and humbled. It is all about the money for you(of which you have plenty)at this point and you are making it more and more clear. They are discussing your characters and glorifying your writing even more than it was before-be happy! So shut up and be grateful with your billion dollars and give us all a break. I hope this costs you fans and credibility. You are ungrateful and pathetic.

It's funny how she used to claim how the lexicon was well written, well researched, and how she used it as her reference material... until the book is published. Now it's 'poorly-written' and 'stolen ideas'.

JK, you sold out. Harry Potter 1 was a great book, and 2 was great too. Then you got greedy. And it showed. OOOH BOY did it show. Harry Potter 7 was a tragedy. A fourth grader could and would have outwriten you in talent and creativity.

So stop biting the hand that feeds you.
