Quote:
In the past, famous people have been locked in legal battles with net-users who nabbed domain names which they considered to be rightfully theirs.*
But JK should have no trouble - many Half Blood Prince domains have been bought by firms she's connected to.*
Potter film-makers Warner Bros have got harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince.com*

They've also taken harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince.net and halfbloodprince.org*
Quote:
Seabottom Productions Limited and Lightmaker Group Limited - both companies with ties to JK - have nabbed other equally important domain names.*
Quote:
The registrations weren't made until this week, but that's probably because you web-users are a clever bunch and you would have worked out the title of book six before JK announced it herself!*
Please note that the domains have been bought but the sites have not yet been set up.
