NEW YORK — A judge ruled Monday in favor of “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling in her copyright-infringement lawsuit against a fan and website operator who was set to publish a Potter encyclopedia. U.S. District Judge Robert P. Patterson blocked publication of the reference guide and awarded Rowling and Warner Bros. Entertainment $6,750 in statutory damages.
“I took no pleasure at all in bringing legal action and am delighted that this issue has been resolved favorably,” Rowling said Monday in a statement.
“Many books have been published which offer original insights into the world of Harry Potter. The Lexicon just is not one of them.”
