The whole point is that Rowling is coming out with her own encyclopedia at a later date. She shouldn't have to compete with someone else over this. It's not fair to her as an author. And I have little sympathy for the Rowling bashers, as she's possibly one of the most fan-friendly authors there is. |

Hey a new new-poster! :lol: Wow I'm back guys. Shocking I know. Huh. Anywho hi all. And I think she has a right to sue them, it is her creation after all. But I do feel kinda bad for those fans... |

*Shrug* Rowling's encyclopedia would own anything SVA comes up with. She would have much more insightful (and accurate) information. And fans would have liked hers a lot better anyway. (Not to mention there'd be way more media coverage--she could probably write a phonebook and get millions of copies sold.) And her encyclopedia would probably get done a whole lot faster if she spent less time with her lawyer. |

^Ain't that the truth! I used to think she was too much of an ice queen, then I saw the documentary "A day in the life of JK Rowling" and it changed my view of her forever. <3 |

Her plot drags on so tediously at times, to an extent that would rival the prose of Northrop Frye even. And she's predictable. |

Well in her defense, the books were destined to be predictable. Her fans have over analyzed the hell out of it and stuffed every imaginable outcome in their fanfics. |

Meh...even people who hadn't read fanfiction could see it coming a mile away. It was cliche, totally embedded in pop culture. But I suppose since her audience's ages are so varied, there's no way she could keep everyone entertained. |
