Steve Vander Ark responds to JKR VS RDR trial verdict

The Grand Rapids Press has spoken with the author of The Harry Potter Lexicon, which just yesterday had its publication halted by a New York City judge. Vander Ark’s thoughts after hearing the verdict:

“I’ve always been a fan of Harry Potter and of Rowling and my hope all along was that we’d find an amicable way to settle this. I’m disappointed, but this is the way it went and I don’t hold any ill will at all. It was a question of law over a difference of opinion and, in a way, I’m glad that it’s finally over.”

Another bad news – HBP video game delayed!

EA officially announced that the game will be delayed until Summer ‘09. With the announcement came two sets of remarks; one of which belonging to film producer David Heyman:

We have enjoyed a wonderful partnership with EA in collaborating on the videogames for all of the Harry Potter films. The visual look of the game for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is incredibly authentic to the film and will provide a truly compelling experience for everyone who plays.”
