JK Rowling blast for 'wholesale theft' of Harry Potter work
HARRY Potter author JK Rowling was set to continue her US court battle today over the publication of a Harry Potter encyclopaedia.
She told the court yesterday that the encyclopaedia was theft of her work.
She also said the battle over the publication of the Harry Potter Lexicon, based on the internet fan site of the same name, "decimated" her creativity and halted all work on a new novel.
The Merchiston-based author was giving evidence at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Court in the Southern District of New York, where she is suing RDR Books to stop publication of Steve Vander Ark's encyclopaedia.
"This book constitutes wholesale theft of 17 years of my hard work," she said.
