Jay/Kay Rowling, the British author with the great rack who wrote those children's fantasy books everyone loves so much, finally released herself from the curse of New York courtrooms yesterday.

The ex-school marm was embroiled in a civil case with publisher RDR Books for months, trying to halt the printing of Steven Jan Vander Ark's unauthorized Harry Potter Lexicon book, which turned all of her made-up words into a jam-packed dictionary explaining the nonsense. Though there were some tears, some magic, and some spooky litigious proceedings, Rowling and Warner Bros. prevailed. Now no one can use her gay wizards for monetary gain unless she says so.

Which means your Harry/Professor Snape slashfiction remains in the immaterial realm of the Internet unless you want all of Hogwarts' magical attorneys on your ass.
