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?

Alla:

Nothing prevents them from appealing definitely, but what my 
understanding they cannot do is to go over the permanent injunction, 
which is the remedy in equity and just say oh yes, we removed 
offensive references, we are not taking as much of protected creative 
expression and now the book is ready for publication.

They have to IMO if they decide to do so appeal first.

Judge said this type of guides is permissive, but this particular 
book is not, not this particular book can be okay if revised.

JMO and I can be wrong of course.
