She represents the brand she created. I work in design, and it's very obvious that Harry Potter is the reason why people go to Universal. I also know that Cressida Cowel showed up at the new Epic Park to see How to Train Your Dragon, but only actors showed up for Harry Potter.
Is this true? She wrote it, but had a whole team helping her along with extra financial help here and there from the Scottish Government. They want to own her, so they can own the product.
Rowling has F U money, and can say or do what she wants because people will still love her product. The books are the reason the movies did well. They can't push her to the side like they tried with George Lucas. Any game, park, movie, show, tea towel, or brothel with her product needs to send her a cheque for the use. She has a mountain of lawyers who can and will stop anything from being off brand. She holds the power and they hate it.
far worse, she's still making money, so all these temper tantrums mean nothing. It hasn't stopped Harry Potter at all. These power mongering thieves can't wear the IP like a skin suit, and they can't destroy the creator.
I get really tired of the creator is greatest thing. TV was created by several people back and forth. One of them grew up as a potato farmer in Idaho. Thomas Ford didn't invent the car, the assembly line, or how they worked together. He was still incredibly important, and should be praised. Edison and Tesla had labs full of people. Miyamoto can't program. John Carmack is honest about his level design skills. Disney had people working for him all the time, and his brother was the major finance guy. We make it sound like one guy did all the work of a building full of people, and it makes it difficult to recognize the work you do in real life.
Rowling is living off of her product in the way our cultures have created. The powers that be are angry, because they want control over it, and she isn't following it perfectly.
