That's not...a very good title. It doesn't make me go "Well I wonder what that is? I can't wait to read this and find out what that thing in the title is." it's more of a "What the Fuck!"

Yeah, she might as well have gone with "Harry Potter and the Hungry Hippos".

"Harry Potter and His Untimely Death".  Even if she doesn't kill him, that alone would've doubled book sales!

If she kills him she's a dumbfuck. I don't like that woman at ALL. to start with, she copied the whole idea from 2 different sources, one of them being a board game called "Larry Potter". I'd say, slap the bitch.

Well it's a world of "Magic" so she could always find some way to bring him back.  I mean in five years we could see "Harry Potter and the Resurrection Spell". Voldermort died at least twice already...and he is still around.  But I wouldn't kill him off even if I didn't have any more ideas for stories. Cause 10 years down the road, the mortgage might be due and I may have blown all my millions I had in the bank and I'll need to write another sure-fire best seller.

She has a website, http://www.realmuggles.com/ (http://www.realmuggles.com/)
Not to mention that they're different "Muggles".  In the Nancy Stouffer book they're a whole other race of beings (and ugly), while in the Potter-verse it's slang for a non-magic using human.  I don't see why there even had to be a legal battle of any kind.

I didn't read the whole thing, but it appears that Stouffer couldn't produce any concrete, undisputable proof.  None of her stories appeared to be widely published that Rowling all the way in Britain would've gotten a copy and said, "I'll steal this".  The most interesting material is probably under "II. Motion for Summary Judgement" under B.
