Give Jo your support
MuggleNet fully supports Jo Rowling in this case. This week will be, without a doubt, difficult and emotional for the author who has spent 17 years creating the series we all love so much. Because of this, we feel that with as much support as possible, this time can be made more bearable for her.
Please feel free to leave any messages of support in the comments, which we will link to from the main page until a verdict on this case is reached. Thank you.
"I really don't want to cry because I'm British. These books, they saved me, not just in the very obvious material sense, although they did do that...I would have to say that there was a time when they saved my sanity." JK Rowling, April 14th

Jo, I grew up with Harry Potter and I could never thank you enough for creating this wonderful series. My thoughts are with you. Please know that your fans support you and would never want to see Harry Potter tainted by those who would use it for their own profit.
We all support you Jo! We know you didn't ask to be in this situation but you need to just keep fighting for what you believe in and your doing the right thing! We need to protect Harry Potter and if you have to fight for it,so be it! Were all behind you 100%!!

Completely behind you, Jo -- this is your life's work after all, and although you have millions of fans the world over who want to be part of the amazing experience you've enabled us all to have, creating something for profit and attaching one's name to it does NOT seem like the way to go about it. I for one would never support someone who tries to commandeer your creation as an authoritative voice. You have every right to publish your own work and not have someone who claims to be a fan stealing your thunder and trying to get his name in the spotlight to be associated with your hard work and sacrifice. Best wishes with the outcome and no matter what, I'm a fan of your work, not what someone else decides to write about it.
I hope this trial does not get your spirits down. Even if you do not win (which you will) I will never buy that sad excuse for a "book" and im sure none of your real fans will either. Good Luck!!
Good luck Jo! We are all on your side, and like many other loyal fans, I am waiting for your encyclopedia. I will NOT buy this lexicon one if it is published. NOBODY SHOULD BUY IT! Words cannot express how greatful we all are that you brought Harry into our world. Once again, we are here for you!!!!
Jo, you have given all of us on this page SO much! There is no way I could ever thank you enough for the Harry Potter series! We stand by you 100%! We know this week will be hard for you, so please remember that all of here love you and support you, no matter what! Even if the encyclopedia is published, as a Thank You to all you have done for me, not just giving me my favorite book series, but so much more that I could never express in writing enough, I will not be purchasing the encyclopedia. I can't wait for your's, the REAL one! Please also know that no book or "fan" could ever ever ever replace you're work. I don't know if you'll read this directly, but please let me just say how much these books have effected me. I can NEVER in my life thank you enough, I'm so grateful for them. You really have, because of the series, made me who I am today. Thank you and Good Luck!
Jo, you don't need to worry because you've got all your fans behind you 100% and that's pretty much the whole world! Not to mention your supportive family. I know for certain I'll be jumping up and down when (not "if") you win this thing! Can't wait for YOUR Scottish book! hahaha..x
I would add more, but everyone's said it already. We're all behind you 100%, Jo. You are totally amazing, and so are the HP books. This is a great thing to fight for. And of course, we will all be eagrly awaiting your encyclopedia, no matter what the outcome of this is.
We support you 100% Jo! This case is practically like Peter stabbing James in the back :-/.
Go Jo! :D I hope you win this! We Love You! :)
You have the support and love of millions of fans who would never do this to you even if they had the ability to. The happiness the books bring to everyone is enough for all of us. We know you'll win, and don't let it get you down!
Dear Jo, I love your books sooo much. They have helped me in my life through many difficult times. I know for a fact this is true for other people too. Don't worry I'm 1000% sure that you will win. Nobody should be able to get away with copying your books without your approval. Good luck with the rest of the trial. I feel sorry for Steve though, he does seem like a nice guy who didn't mean to upset his favorite author, but he should have stopped when Jo said no.
We're with you all the way, Jo!!
COME ON JO! We all love you and your work, we all understand what you are fighting for ans we are all behind you with this 100%. Do not let your opponents get the better of you. FIGHT until the very end!!!
I seriously think that Jo is absolutely right to sue the HP Lexicon people and RDR Books. The HP Lexicon should just stop this as a favor to Jo. After all, Jo has created the Harry Potter series (without which the Lexicon would not exist) and was just fine with the online version of the HP Lexicon.
Thank you to the woman who inspired me to learn to read...and in turn teach children to read. (useing your books!) I'm behind you and so are so many others, we are behind you as friends ready to defend. Think of us as your faithful marauders, standing by your side even when we're not really there.
Good luck Jo! We're all behind you 100% on this issue. I've been a Harry Potter fan for 10 years now and it's become such a huge part of my life. Thanks Jo!
Good luck, Ms. Rowling! You're in the right! I know to wait for your book, which will be the only COMPLETE encyclopedia of the world of Harry Potter. Hang in there; we're all rooting for you.
Every true HP fan is behind you, Jo, don't give up. It's a shame this had to end up in court, but, that being the case, keep fighting! Don't worry, Jo, we understand why you're doing this.
Best of luck to you J.K. Rowling! S.P.E.W., The D.A., and the OOTP is behind you plus us "Harry Potter Fans", we'll stick with you to the end... GOOD LUCK! :)
100 percent behind you Jo. :]
Good luck Jo! I admit i was a little shaky about this thing, it seemed a bit over the top to me before. But looking at your reasoning, I'm really glad you did this. Even if you lose, I will buy the official one.
Jo will win 100% her fans are so behind her JK IS A WINNER!!! good luck ms. Rowling i believe in you winning very much
JK FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIGH HOPES YOU WIN kick those pratts in their faces!!!!
Go Jo!!! where ALL behind you!!!
Ms. Rowling: I am writing you this note because my older brother says that some people are trying to steal your ideas. We know what it feels like to have things stolen from us because our house was robbed two months ago. The people that took our stuff even took my teddy bear. That made me very sad. I got a new one and it is just as special to me now though. It is real hard to be robbed and I hope that you can catch the person that is trying to steal your ideas and get them back. My Aris was just special to me but Harry Potter is special to lots of people so if it gets stolen a very lot of people will be sad too. I just wanted to say that we are still happy even though we got robbed and we were sad for awhile. I hope you don't get robbed but if you do it will get better I promise. You will still have your family and your friends and they will help make it better too. Janie Age 7
I'm one of the many Potter fans who are waiting for the encyclopedia. Harry Potter is the best series ever written. Every single one of us Potter fans supports you all the way!
These Lexicon peoples have no right to do what they are doing. The must be twisted in the minds to try and make money off the best book of all time, and then punish the inocent people who don't know that what they are reading is unfactuall and stupid with something that isn't the "real deal". I am 1,000,000% behind you Jo!
Ms. Rowling, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with this case. Like the 100's of fans that have commented before me, I support you 100%. GO TEAM JO! woot! woot!
Go Jo! It is sad to see people who love the series having to fight over things like this, but Jo is in the right. It is her baby, and she can't sit idly by while someone affronts it. We are all grateful to you for creating this world Jo. You have our support!
Don't worry Jo, just because your British it's okay to cry, I do [in fact the Deathly Hallows made me shed buckets]. We're behind you 100%, always have been, always will be!!
I sooo agree with you bEtHyBoP13!
Jo, I love your books and have started writing original stories because of your influence. I support your encyclopedia and think that donating all the money to charity is the best thing to do and anyone who tries to make money off a similar idea does not know the true nature behind the books we love SO much. thanks for everything you do!
Harry Potter has been a part of my life since I was 8 years old. I've laughed, cried, and mourned with thousands of other fans as each new book came out. Harry Potter has taught me so much, and I'm so in love with it that I am honestly afraid to imagine life without it. I support you, Jo. I see no reason for Steve Van der Ark to try to publish the Lexicon. I don't know why he's even trying to fight you, because you're going to win. And rest assured; any true Potter fan will not buy a Potter Encyclopaedia unless the wonderful J.K. Rowling writes it. Love you! ~Aleah
I totally support you, Jo! I've been on your side ever since I first heard about this. HP Lexicon should not be allowed to make money off your work! Good luck!
I agree with bEtHyBoP13 too. One time on the wall of shame isn't enough apperantly. Go team Jo!
We support you 100%. Thank you for giving us these amazing books! Harry Potter is the best! Good Luck! I know you'll win this. Go JO!!
Jo, if you see this, I support you with all the support I can give. All us Harry Potter fans understand clearly on why you testify against this book. We cannot use your imagination when it comes to benefitting us in a way that is not fair to you. I wish you the best of luck on this case! Love, Kristine ***If Jo loses, DON'T BUY THE LEXICON! That way, it will prove the judges on how stupid they are on not being fair and reasonable during the case :D
Thank You bEtHyBoP13 - You said exactly what I was thinking!
all hp fans support you jo but just incase steve vander ark publishes his book none of us are interested, he can't tell us anything new like your encyclopedia can and i think that all of us are happy to wait ten years for yours than buy his now anyway!!! love you jo and thank you for giving us these amazing books xxx
We love you Jo!!!! After everything you've given us, ture fans have no choice but to continue to support you!
Dear Jo, my sisters and I wish you the very best. we feel sure you'll prevail. We have the books, we know where to find stuff, we don't need a lexicon. But we DO need your encyclopedia. We know where our loyalties lie and we're behind you one hundred percent. thank you for everything. Go Jo!!!
Love you Jo!!! Backing you 1000000%
Jo, I just want you to know I think your books mentally saved me too. I have had a very difficult childhood, and would constantly escape to Harry's world. I started the books when I was 9, and I was 17 when the last one came out, so I really truly grew up with Harry, in more ways than I can explain. I can never say how great an influence you and the series have been in my life. I support you 100%! (And would probably sell my own teeth to meet you. :D)
Jo, you do not need this, you should be floating in a pool, wigging your toes in the sand. You do not need this or deserve this. You fans are behind you with you. Now, if you feel the need to smoke, get smoke-free or light free on the internet it is just a very long filter and all you suck is air. It works, You do not light it. It put mine in a plastic round tube of m&m candy, which I ate and loved. We love you Jo, take your time. Breathe in and let it out.
I am behind you 110%, Jo. I wish you the best of luck on the trial. There does not need to be anyone that ever steals someone's work. Everyone knows you have worked a long time on this incredible books, which you should take all the credit. When your encyclopedia comes out, I will be sure to read it, since a lot of hard work will have went into the book. Even you doing it for charity is amazing. Thanks for letting me enjoy reading your books and can't wait to read more. So, I hope you best of luck at the trail again. Best wishes and thanks again for letting me be a fan!
Jo, your books have meant more to me than you can imagine. I have never been so attached to a series before, and I have matured and learned many things from your incredible, moving books. I am completly with you on this, and I hope that you win this case. There is no need for you to go through this, an just know that there are many of us who are supporting you all the way. Long Live Harry Potter!!
I support JK Rowling.
Love ya, Jo! We're all here for you!
