I don't think Bloomsbury (Rowling's...Thanks Valpot. I don't think Bloomsbury (Rowling's publishers) have anything to do with the case. I think it is being taken by JK and Warner Bros. The lexicon is certainly not being published by the same people. This has to be bad press for JK. She is coming across as greedy and petty and I can't imagine her fans will like that. Her threat not to write her own version is a mean ploy to turn her fans against the lexicon. Thanks for looking at Helium. Glad you liked the article.Inkpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253894925544281211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30216850.post-7514674946831371722008-04-16T09:13:00.000+01:002008-04-16T09:13:00.000+01:00PS I like your new article in Helium, though it's ...PS I like your new article in Helium, though it's so sad!<BR/><BR/>Good to see you update your profile - that must have been fun!Valpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291368968147871896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30216850.post-18984322644696785512008-04-16T09:02:00.000+01:002008-04-16T09:02:00.000+01:00A very thoughtful analysis.I agree totally. Also I...A very thoughtful analysis.<BR/><BR/>I agree totally. Also I think it is probably foolish as well. Extra books like this tend to increase interest (if possible) for the topic, so I could only see a benefit for the HP empire.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the case is being driven by the publishers?? (Or is it the same publishers for both, as in the Dan Brown case?) <BR/><BR/>It seems a bit mean of JK, especially if she has already admitted to using the on-line resource! It's not like he's written the next book in the series!Valpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291368968147871896noreply@blogger.com
