Scholastic is pulling off its kid gloves in a struggle with author Nancy Stouffer. Stouffer has accused best-selling Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling of stealing words from a book Stouffer said she published in the 1980s. Scholastic and Rowling have released a statement that basically accused Stouffer of trying to cash in on Rowling s success. Scholastic also pointed out that 'muggle' and its derivatives have had a long and diverse history in the English language. However, all three parties may get the chance to work out their differences in court if they don t call a truce soon.
Suits are pending against both sides.
