Rowling Writes A “Storycard” For Charity
Bloomberg reported the author of the Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling will be among 12 other authors to compose a “storycard” on a blank A5 card for a charity auction at Waterstone’s Piccadilly store in London on June 10, 2008. The proceeds from the “What’s Your Story” event will be donated to English PEN and Dyslexia Action.

The evening auction is by invitation only and the bidders will know who created each card. The other authors are Richard Ford, Tom Stoppard, Sebastian Faulks, Doris Lessing and Nick Hornby.

``It's impossible to say how much this auction will raise,'' said Gerry Johnson, managing director of Waterstone's, in the statement. ``With the caliber of authors involved, then really the sky is the limit. Owning an original piece of work by a favorite writer is the ultimate limited edition for fans.''

Thanks The Leaky Cauldron

J.K. Rowling Wins Privacy Suit on Photos of David
J.K. Rowling has won the privacy suit regarding some photos taken of her son David that were published without her consent or knowledge.

Sir Anthony Clarke, the ruling judge, stated, "If a child of parents who are not in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent."

J.K. Rowling and her husband, Neil Murray, put out a statement, saying, "We embarked on this lawsuit not because we were seeking special privileges for our children but because we wanted them to grow up, like their friends, free from unwarranted intrusion into their privacy."

Let's hope that the RDR Books vs JKR/WB case comes out with this type of positive ruling as well.

Vander Ark: I'm an Outcast Now
Steve Vander Ark of the HP Lexicon and who, along with RDR Books, recently went up against J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros in a court battle regarding a book he is trying to publish on the Harry Potter world, spoke with The New Yorker about his experience.

“I really wish we had had a different kind of meeting,” he said later. “There were a couple times I kind of gave her a half-smile. She didn’t smile back...I am an outcast now. But I still consider myself a ‘Harry Potter’ fan.”
