Harry Potter Mania Won't Stop by david pensato - Monday, Nov 12, 2007 at 3:50pm

Despite the fact that July was supposed to be the final round of book-related Harry Potter hype, the heat continues.

A book based on the immensely popular internet fan site The Harry Potter Lexicon was slated to be published at the end of this month has been put on hold until a lawsuit filed by J.K. Rowling can either dismissed or until the publisher can convince Rowling to change her mind:

In a statement, RDR Books publisher Roger Rapoport characterized the legal proceedings as a “David and Goliath battle,” noting that Rowling has previously praised Vander Ark’s Web site, on which his book is based. Further, Rapoport urged that Rowling, in the name of “literary freedom and free expression,” drop “her complaint against a book we are confident she would enjoy reading.”

There was also a rumour that a new Potter series is in the works, after an Australian news agency reported on a site that appeared to be marketing for just that. Rowling's agent has since stated that the site has no connection to anything officially Potter.

Finally, Reuters is reporting that Harry Potter is the most re-read book in Britain. Conflictingly, the BBC reported in the spring that Potter was the second-most unfinished book in Britain.

Then again, maybe that's why they're re-reading it.
