Harry Potter and the Deathly Derivative
With a gavel instead of a wand, New York District Judge Robert Patterson on Monday found publisher RDR Books and Steven Vander Ark guilty of infringing the copyrights of
J.K. Rowling and moviemaker Warner Brothers Entertainment. At issue was RDR’s attempt to market and distribute a definitive lexicon or encyclopedia on Rowling’s famed series. The Harry Potter Lexicon would include a compendium of information on Harry, Hogwarts, Hermione’s spells, Hagrid’s pets and Professor Snape’s potions, along with many selections from the seven books.
