The creator of an online website called “The Harry Potter Lexicon” was recently sued by the books’ author, J.K Rowling, and their publisher. The website was created by a fan, a librarian, and it contains a detailed timeline, a dictionary, and other information from the Harry Potter world. The website was publicly praised by J.K. Rowling, but that fondness didn’t last once she learned that another publisher planned on printing a book version of the website.

Is this clear cut copyright infringement, or is J.K. Rowling just alienating her fans and being greedy?
