J.K. Rowling Crushes Planned "Harry Potter" Lexicon

The richest woman in Britain won a claim that a fan set to churn out a "Harry Potter" Lexicon would cause her "irrevocable harm as a writer." The book's production has now halted and was being released by Michigan-based RDR Books (because Michigan needs even more money taken away from it right now). J.K. apparently took personal offense to the w...
