Episode #90: Interview with Steve Vander Ark of the Harry Potter Lexicon
from Harry Potter Prognostications Podcast September 15, 2008
If you re a fan of the Harry Potter books and J.K. Rowling, and were alive during the month of April of 2008, you probably heard about a little law suit over a book called The Harry Potter Lexicon. The author of that book, Steve Vander Ark, is also the creator and editor of the Harry Potter Lexicon website. We got a chance to talk with Steve about the lawsuit, the fan reactions, his new book and, of course, we talked a bit about Harry Potter (you know, the books about this boy wizard oh never mind). It s a fascinating interview, hope you enjoy it. We here at HPProgs believe in hearing all points of view, and hope that you will feel free to voice your opinions in the comments, while remaining respectful and rational in the process. A big thanks to Steve for taking the time to talk with us. Check out Steve s new book entitled In Search of Harry Potter. This podcast is brought to you by Audible.com.
