After JK Rowling, Harry Potter’s superfan enacts an emotional moment on the stand
This man is 50 years old and is a big fan of Harry Potter. To make things even more interesting, he breaks down on the witness stand and starts crying. While the lawyers were questioning him on the stand, he starts crying and defending why he started the Harry Potter Lexicon website and why he wants to publish a book that will have all the entries and definations from the lexicon website compiled. You really thought Rowling did not want a piece of the money you were going to make, Steve?
Apparently, J.K Rowling had no problem with him running his website but she is against the idea that he is going to release this Harry Potter encyclopedia because she wants to publish her own Harry Potter encyclopedia.
At the end of the day in court, an unconfirmed report mentioned that JK Rowling took out her wand in the courtroom, pointed at Steve and went “Be-gone’us Steve-o foreverculus”*. It did not work, she did not have the copyright.

In fairness to JK Rowling, it’s her work and all derivatives should be hers. What’s a bit disturbing is that yeah, she is already expecting more millions via royalties and other revenues from her book, can’t she not let this go? The guy made a website, it’s about Potter of course, and he compiled what must be a volume of terms about the book, call it simply a lexicon, so it’s his time and energy and talent that’s on the line here….
Why not have the dictionary entitled ‘The Unofficial Harry Potter Dictionary, please see the Official version by JK Rowlings, See back cover for details, 50% of the proceeds with go to Charity’ by Steven Vander Ark, Potter superfan sued by JK Rowlings.
Thanks for your comment Jed. I totally agree that it is Rowling’s creativity and her intellectual property. I am just surprised that Steve thought he could get away with it.
