JK Rowling and the current trial

publishing news Add comments

As you may know, the trial involving J.K. Rowling and RDR Books started this week.

Rowling gave her testimony on Monday. Without a doubt it was one of the most anticipated moments in the trial. She even delivered an emotional account. Yes, she teared up at one point. She told how the trial has disrupted her own creative process, and she underlined the importance of the case for all authors’ rights.

“These characters mean so much to me,” Rowling said. “It’s difficult for someone who’s not a writer to understand what it’s like.” She said she found the Lexicon’s manuscript to be a “travesty” and noted that, in particular, her own Potter companion books, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, had been “plundered” by the Lexicon.
