Tim Wu, a Columbia Law Professor, led a panel May 1st at OnCopyright 2008.  The panel talked a lot about the JKR vs RDR Books lawsuit. .Here is some information from a summary on the conference at EContent Magazine:

He planted the seeds for his group’s discussion by familiarizing the conference audience with the story of Steve Vander Ark, the creator of The Harry Potter Lexicon, an online encyclopedia that is a companion to the Harry Potter children’s book series. The Lexicon gained widespread news coverage in recent months when Potter author J. K. Rowling took Vander Ark to court for copyright infringement over a proposed published edition of the Lexicon. Wu played an official Harry Potter podcast in which other members of the Harry Potter fan community ostracized and effectively banished Vander Ark from their ranks. Wu’s question to the panel was, “Why are Harry Potter fans disowning Vander Ark?” The panel’s answer was that the fan community needs to disassociate itself from anyone who goes to far in appropriating creative content for fear that their own access to that content might dry up. The panel also noted that Vander Ark’s attempt to turn his online Lexicon into an ink-and-paper book was his ultimate undoing.

  There is a new interview with Julie Walters, Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter movies.

“The funny thing was that a rumour went around once that I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter books and that I was always first in the queue when they came out. Not the case, I’m afraid. Someone caught me thumbing through one on a bookstand and all I was doing – I admit it – was checking whether or not JK Rowling, the author, had written my character out! It was pure self-interest. I got to the magic words ‘Mrs Weasley’, realised I wasn’t going to be the impending corpse and put the book back on the shelf.”

ABC Family is going to  re- broadcast Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on May 24. There is no news of HBP footage will being shown, but you never know.

If I find out any more about this I will update you!
