I don't know if you are following this, but a gentleman has been keeping a Harry Potter Encyclopedia online, which Rowling has said that she loves. Now the Encyclopediast, Steven Vander Ark, is being sued by Rowling for copyright infringement.
That's fine. I don't mind that. What is the problem? This:
"Rowling (her name rhymes with bowling, rather than howling), testified Monday that the Harry Potter characters she created are as dear as her children, too precious to allow an inferior Potter encyclopedia to be published without letting the world know the ordeal is draining her of her will to write."
Apparently someone existing, who loves her work so much that he has devoted 9 years to her work (albeit as an "inferior writer," sorry dude) and wants to add something to the understanding of the Potter world is "draining her of the will to write?"
It's a good thing Tolkien or C.S. Lewis or you know, every popular writer that has ever written a book had a bit stronger of a constitution regarding their reading public.

Okay, I've only read the first two books. But I don't think she should calling anyone an "inferior writer." Her strength is not in her use of adverbs but in her ability to create story and plot. Sorry Rowling, your no Tolkien...or Lewis.
