In a publishing class I took last year I remember my teacher mentioning something about a Harry Potter fan-based website that created a lexicon (basically a reference book with information on all characters, locations, animals, etc. in the Harry Potter books) and was now trying to have it published. JK Rowling, who in the past had visited the site and praised it, decided to sue the author before he could publish it, for causing her creative grief. The case was decided this September and the judge banned the Harry Potter Lexicon from ever being published.

It doesn't seem right that she would support the site, but the second it might get published it caused her "creative grief". Sounds like she just didn't want someone else to rake in what she believes is her money.
