On Harry Potter and the Incredibly Conservative Aristocratic Children's Club

Man, you're going to champion Steve Vander Ark? 'Cause he was way less house elf and more fan looking to make a buck. I mean:

"As the editor of the Lexicon, I get email every so often from fans asking me to publish the Lexicon in book form, so I’ve dealt with this question before. Basically, it is illegal to sell a book like that. Jo has reserved all publishing rights to her intellectual property, which means that she’s the only one who may publish any book that is a guide or encyclopedia to her world. And since we’re fans and supporters of Jo, we wouldn’t do anything that would violate her rights, even if we could get away with it." – SVA in e-mail on May 15, 2005

And he pretty much did just that. Just because he invested time in it doesn't make it okay.
