I'm not really interested in reading a fan site's redaction of what Rowling sez, because Rowling flat out threatened her OCD fanbase on the stand that she wouldn't write more about Harry Potter if the owners of the copyrights on her other books lost their case. But I'm biased. No matter whether she gives the money to charity, I'm not impressed with what the Fan Sites have reported as Rowling's statements.
*shrug* They tried very hard to be fair. One of the reporters even recused herself as soon as an email between herself and SVA was admitted into evidence but it's your perogative.
But I think we all agree that Vander Ark's publication isn't going to be the better version.
Especially since it's already available free on the internet...
but then both Vander Ark and Rowling are, in my opinion, a bit tipped.
I agree wholeheartedly.

She's not going to write anuything more about Harry Potter at all unless ou count the encyclopedia. She said that a long time ago. She considers his mythology closed.
I was never a member of the fandom, although I'm a fan of her books, but I look forward to the judgement on tis case. It'll be interesting, either way it's decided.
