2008-04-16 07:46:00 By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer April 16, YahooNEW YORK (AP) — J.K. Rowling says the Harry Potter characters she created are as dear as her children, too precious to allow an inferior Potter encyclopedia to be published without letting the world know the ordeal is draining her of her will to write."I really don't want to cry because I'm British, you know," the mother of three told a judge Monday in U.S. District Court as she described how much her characters and seven books mean to her. "You know, these books, they saved me, not just in the very obvious material sense, although they did do that. ... I would have to say that there was a time when they saved my sanity."Last year, Rowling sued Michigan-based RDR Books to stop publication of Steven Vander Ark's "Harry Potter Lexicon," claiming copyright infringement.

Rowling back in the plagiarism spotlight
2008-04-15 09:23:00 Rowling tells court she's stopped working | Reuters An emotional J.K. Rowling said on Monday she had stopped working on a new novel because her creativity was stifled by a fan's bid to print an unofficial encyclopedic companion to her Harry Potter series. The 42-year-old British author and Warner Bros. are suing independent U.S. publisher RDR Books, which plans to publish "The Harry Potter Lexicon," a 400-page reference book written by Steve Vander Ark and based on his popular fan Web site (www.hp-lexicon.org).Rowling has decided that possible plagiarism is too much for her.

She used this surname for his character Harry Potter.One of the hardest blows in Joanne's life was the death of her mother. Aft...

Ban books? Ban ideas, ban imagination, ban a future
2007-12-09 00:26:00 To ban a book is to ban an idea. Some ideas are good; some are bad. But good and bad are judgments each of us must be free to make ? and learn to make. At S&R ? as do so many people in diverse media everywhere ? we discuss ideas and express our opinions about them. We try to not suppress the ideas with which we disagree. Rather, we point out what we see as flaws and attempt to persuade others by providing better ideas. The current flap diverting our attention from more pressing matters involves “The Golden Compass,” a movie derived from the first book in a trilogy called ?His Dark Materials? written by Philip Pullman. His novels and the movie (review) have irritated the Catholic Church, which alleges a secularist agenda and fears the film would drive children toward Pullman’s books. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, which has published a 23-page denunciation of the film, says: The Catholic League wants Christians to stay away from this movi...
