News alert: A judge has ruled in favor of J.K. Rowling in her suit against the Harry Potter Lexicon and RDR Books.
In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert P. Patterson said:
“While the lexicon, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, reference works that share the lexicon’s purpose of aiding readers of literature generally should be encouraged rather than stifled...”
He added that he ruled in Rowling’s favor because the “Lexicon appropriates too much of Rowling’s creative work for its purposes as a reference guide.”

And by the way if everyone thinks Mrs. Edwards did something wrong why are they still publishing her books and have started reprinting her old ones?
