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.
