The Harry Potter author Joanne Rowling was crying into her huge pile of cash recently when she discovered that a fan was planning to release a Harry Potter Lexicon.
The bastard. Imagine someone going out and chronicling the Harry Potter legend for the benefit of the fans, and saving Rowling the bother.
Now, there's two ways of looking at this:
- Joanne Rowling is a complete control freak and wants to write the encyclopedia herself. Fair enough. Or...
- She's slightly more preoccupied about someone else making money out of her creation.
What you might not know is that the proposed Harry Potter Lexicon is based on a website which Rowling herself has praised. Let's face it, fan sites help spread the word and allow enthusiasts to gather together and gossip and explode the myth.
