Harry Potter vs. Tanya Grotter, Tim Wu officiating
"Harry Potter and the International Order of Copyright: Should Tanya Grotter and the Magic Double Bass be banned?" by Tim Wu, June 27, 2003 on Slate.
If you're a serious Harry Potter fan, you finished The Order of the Phoenix over the weekend and are already impatient for the sixth book. While you wait (and wait) for it, how about trying some of the international versions of Potter? In China last year, it was easy to buy the unusual Potter sequel Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon, in which Harry encountered sweet and sour rain, became a hairy troll, and joined Gandalf to re-enact scenes from The Hobbit. The book, while credited to J.K. Rowling, wasn't authorized or written by her, but that didn't prevent it from selling like butterbeer.
Yes, the article is good enough that it passes my anti-Microsoft filter.
