Washington
(ANI):
The
publication
of
a
Harry
Potter
encyclopaedia
has
been
postponed
after
author
JK
Rowling
sued
the
book"s
publisher
Roger
Rapoport.
The
Harry
Potter
Lexicon
volume,
which
is
based
on
material
from
an
Internet
fan
site
of
the
same
name,
will
be
delayed
until
a
New
York
judge
rules
on
whether
it
is
a
violation
of
the
author's
intellectual
property
rights,
or
the
copyright
on
her
novels
held
by
Warner
Bros.
The
book
was
due
for
publication
later
this
month
but
was
barred
after
Rowling
filed
a
lawsuit
against
the
publishers
last
month.
The
New
York
judge
has
issued
an
order
banning
completion,
distribution,
marketing
or
advance
sales
of
the
book
indefinitely."I
think
they
should
drop
it.
I'm
hopeful
that
they
will," Contactmusic
quoted
Rowling,
as
saying.
Rowling
has
however
insisted
that
she
is
disappointed
by
the
whole
situation.
"On
the
contrary,
I
feel
massively
disappointed
that
this
matter
had
to
come
to
court
at
all.
Given
my
past
good
relations
with
the
Lexicon
fan
site,
I
can
only
feel
sad
and
disillusioned
that
this
is
where
we
have
ended
up," she
said.
