[HPFGU-OTChatter] The Stouffer case

[Jennifer R. Wilson]

How did you come about getting ahold of the Stouffer ruling?  I'm quite
curious.  I'm currently waiting for the huge .html file to load before I
really begin commenting.  
 
I'm not really familiar with legal terms, so excuse my ignorance, but
first did this case conform to U.K. or U.S. law?  I'm assuming U.S. for
the moment. 

In comparison, there is no doubt that JKR composed the Potter universe
of her own volition.  I mean,  "muggles" to Stouffer are: 

"tiny, hairless 

creatures with elongated heads, narrow limbs, and plump bellies, and who


"understand all languages, even those of the animals."  

In JKR's books, "Muggles" are simply people who are not magical at all.
That is a completely different meaning than Stouffer's term discribed
above.   That right now should tell that there is definitely something
fishy about the case.

I am not a lawyer, nor very experienced in law at all, so I'm really
probably approaching this the wrong way.  I do want to state how glad I
am that the case is over.  What I've read prior to this made me believe
that Nancy Stouffer was not meant to be trusted, I mean it just didn't
sound like a valid claim from the very beginning.  Did any of you fans
tend to disbelieve JKR about this? 

I'm very happy about the ruling.   I am glad that JKR can focus on her
family now, as well as getting the OoP finished.  What does everyone
else think?
