Kinda wonder how much of it is ego -- wanting to stay relevant and have a position -- vs money at this point, since she has to be loaded. Of course, if she had any serious literary inklings, I would imagine that she'd be annoyed that this is the only franchise she can really get over.

I thought this topic was going to be about her whining about some political crap on twitter again. Which then i would have agreed


Pretty much. We hear more about JK Rowling's completely uninformed opinions on US politics than the opinions of actual politicians.

You think she's going to be alive 70 years from now? That's how long it takes a copyright to expire, last I checked.


70 years after death i thought

I thought so too. Either that, or 70 years after the last time a company/entity uses the IP.


It's generally 70 years after death. If it was 70 years after a company uses the IP, shit would never expire. The estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has tried to protect Sherlock Holmes from going into the public domain by arguing he wasn't a fleshed out character until the last novel, which didn't fly in courts.

At any rate, Rowling has probably sworn that great-grandkids will never go hungry again.
