On Monday, we told you about a new lawsuit against Bloomsbury from the Estate of Adrian Jacobs. The Estate claims that JK Rowling took various plot items from Jacobs' Willy the Wizard story. Thanks to MuggleNet reader Amy, we now know of a new video interview with an Estate representative. He spoke with the Australian Morning Show "Sunrise" - video is now available on their site. Watching this video shows you how weak the case is. The representative repeatedly mentions JK Rowling allegedly stealing the wizard train, wizard school, and wizard competitions. In our opinion, those three items are very broad accusations for a court case.

A Prague court today suspended and fined Czech publisher Vlastimil Svoboda for printing and selling pirated copies of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Back in 2001, printing house Ottovo Nakladatelstvi published 10,000 copies of the fourth Potter novel knowing another local printer had the rights. The fine was equal to roughly $10,200.
