Steve, I am not kidding. You need to find yourself an agent and ask 
these questions. Then I think you should start pitching an "Annotated 
Harry Potter" to publishers. Somebody is going to write it, and if it 
isn't you, they are certainly going to use your research. Your work  
is real, it is professional, and it is important.

Any agent worth her salt will POUNCE on the opportunity to advise you 
on how to approach this and to help your with a proposal. If you need 
some help, I can dig up some reputable names for you.

I think you should at least be paid as a consultant for the Electronic 
Arts project.
