Sheryll:

I didn't see anything in the ruling that prohibits them from appealing and presenting a revised edition of the Lexicon book. Of course, they'd have to remove the reference to the schoolbooks and change the instances where they've used JKR's own words to describe the entries. Other than that, doesn't the conclusion say that this type of work is permissible?
