If you recall, last year, a court battle where J.K. Rowling lost the privacy rights case involving her son. The case was about the publication of long-lens photographs taken of her son when he was 18 months old in 2004.  She appealed the case and won the today.  JKR and husband, Dr. Neil Murray, released the following statement:

We understand and accept that with the success of Harry Potter there will be a measure of legitimate media and public interest in Jo’s professional activities and appearances.

However, we have striven to give our children a normal family life outside the media spotlight.

We are immensely grateful to the court for giving our children protection from covert, unauthorised photography; this ruling will make an immediate and material difference to their lives. 

Thanks HPANA!
