The judge in the Harry Potter court room drama today criticized J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter work by calling it “gibberish” and “too complex”, lol, hilarious. The court hearings are finished but sounds like the judge just completely ignored all the bickering which caused him to order them to settle their differences out of the court room.

More on it here:

It sounds like there is going to be no lawsuit. The judge clearly wants them to grow up to settle things their own way. The judge don’t need to be the babysitter of Mrs. Loudmouth Rowling. Kudos to the judge, he’s doing the right thing, Rowling is just wasting her time, solving nothing.

Oh my, the judge is getting tired of her whiny bitching already and doesn’t want to hear anymore of it. I can’t blame him though.

It is now Steven Vander Ark’s turn to testify in the lawsuit for the “Harry Potter Lexicon” controversy today for Day #2. As I predicted, Vander Ark is upset. He actually cried to tears as he spoke in court today. Vander Ark says the book publishing company talked him into doing the encyclopedia but he did have concerns on whether or not it violated the copyrights to Rowling’s work.

What a way to treat your own fans Loudmouth Rowling. Never try to make friends with your favorite celebrities or they could stab you in the fucking back like Mrs. Loudmouth did to this poor fellow. Not all celebrities are the nicest people in the world and this shows it. Can you believe this shit? Mrs. Loudmouth got Vander Ark so upset that he got him crying in court. What a selfish stupid idiot she is.

Yes, Loudmouth Rowling has every right to control her work since she owns the copyright to Harry Potter, I even said it was all about copyright when I first reported the story. So I know all about copyright infrigement.

What’s fucked about this story and what pisses me off so much about it, that Steven Vander Ark commended nicely to Rowling that she supported his website, and respected her to visiting his website, he wrote an open letter to her thanking her for it:

In an article I posted earlier, she responded back saying nice things to Vander Ark and the website, and such.

In today’s court hearing she said nasty things about Vander Ark like accusing him of “jumping the Harry Potter phenomenon” bandwagon, and call him out in all kinds of nasty bullshit. Vander Ark have to be upset right now. I’m sure he’s sad about it.

She has the right to control her work how she wants but if you read the article I posted below again…

right here…quote from article “Vander Ark was contacted by an RDR Books employee, who told him that publication of the lexicon would not violate copyright law, he said.”

The book publishing company even flat out said that the book would not violate copyright law. This is why Vander Ark has every right to do this Encyclopedia. This is why he is going to win. Maybe the employee was wrong when he said it doesn’t violate copyrights, but a book company wouldn’t lie about something like that.

If writers can continue to write Star Trek and Star Wars fiction novels, it does not violate the copyright to those. Vander Ark’s “Lexicon” is written so Harry Potter fans can be entertained by, not to create a negative impact, I don’t know what Mrs. Loudmouth is worried about.  She should appreciate his promotion and marketing of Harry Potter and appreciate him being a fan, this is how he gets treated, being treated like dirt by an ego driven author. This is coming from the same woman who said one of the Harry Potter characters is gay when it wasn’t mentioned in the books and it created controversy in the news, this woman is a loudmouth because that’s what she is.

Oh yeah, and this gets better, she once said she was quitting the Harry Potter series for good and now she’s thinking about doing another one. Mrs. Loudmouth Attention Whore. I can come up with a lot of funny names for her.

Keep your head up high Steven, don’t let this egomaniac bring you down.

Legendary author of the “Harry Potter” series, J.K. Rowling is set to battle in court against a die hard Harry Potter fan who plans on releasing a “Harry Potter Encyclopedia”. Rowling is set to testify Monday (that’s tomorrow) in court where she had her lawyers to arrange her a private security for Rowling in the courtroom to be away from die hard fans in attendance.

Rowling filed the lawsuit against the publisher of the “Harry Potter Lexicon” (the name of the Encylopedia) last year to stop them from publishing it. The author of the book is die hard Potter fan Steven Vander Ark. Rowling actually loves Vander Ark’s website that he runs himself: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/ but she draws the line of publishing it and charging $24.95 for the Encyclopedia.

Rowling wants to prove that this book is violating her copyrights and she is worried that the Encyclopedia will create a negative impact with Harry Potter fans:

I’m with Vander Ark on this one. This just shows how much of an egostitical and money grubbing woman that J.K. Rowling is, she doesn’t care about the fans, she only cares about herself and her own ego.

Vander Ark has every right to release this Encyclopedia.

Look at all these legendary movie franchises that has released Encyclopedias, everything from Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, the Terminator, James Bond, Lord of the Rings, etc. You can find those Encyclopedias everywhere in bookstores.

I don’t think you need permission from it’s original creator to do those movie Encyclopedias.There’s a 1st amendment in writing novels. If J.K. Rowling loves his website and has no problem with it, I don’t see what’s the big deal about a book. She has no case and nothing to prove. Vander Ark will win all the way.
