| | | Rowling's lawyers approve new Vander Ark book
In September we told you that J.K. Rowling's lawyers had requested to see Steve Vander Ark's new book, In Search of Harry Potter, about locations used in the novels from around the United Kingdom. The Times Online is today reporting that, barring a few changes to the cover, her lawyers have approved the work.
The publication also spoke to Vander Ark about his experiences during the trial concerning The Harry Potter Lexicon. He added that he would like to meet Jo to 'say how much he regrets upsetting her'.
As we reported, also in September, RDR Books have filed an appeal in the Lexicon case. |

It's great that it got approved so that there won't be any trouble about it. I would much rather that Jo would write her encyclopedia though...

She is. It's just gunna take a while because of the huge amount of information she has. Better wait than have a hacked version released, imo.

good to hear that this part went well.
I guess they wanted to see the book incase SVA had actually
written anything about Jo. Not sure if she would approve if someone
wrote about HER home and such.
And about him meeting Jo, that would be a very nice and mature thing
for Jo to allow. But seeing as how SVA has acted, who knows.

That's good that the book got approved, but I probably won't even bother buying it.

It sounds very interesting, can't wait to see how it turns out, and what J.K. plans on writing afterwards

Although what he do was horrible, I kind of feel sorry for him.

I do feel a tiny bit of pity for him; however, I do doubt I would buy his book....I really dont want to contribute to his retirement.

Hogwarts RPG Name: unsorted | Emma Enthusiast  I don't agree with what he did at all,causing Rowling so much of worry and heartache but I do feel a little sorry for him,I just feel he should not even publish such a thing and do that to her.

I'd say he's really lucky to get his book approved, but I don't think much fans will buy it, I know I won't.
Also, he regrets upsetting Jo, yet they're appealing their case...

I actually feel pretty bad for this guy.
Glad he gets to publish this book though.
