Alisa, I don't think you are looking at what's going on here. Ask yourself, what harm can this dictionary do to HP? If it's a poor work, it will disappear, while if it's good it can only enhance. Rowling cannot control whether you and I write about HP, and use names and places that are in the books. This is what a reviewer and critic does, and it is what our unfortunate lexicographer was ready to do. Biran is quite right that an attempt to exert control over that is "bullying" and he is also right that, unless there is clear copying of content, this suit is unlikely to succeed.
