As 'Harry Potter' Movie Nears, Author Suing J.K. Rowling Faces Difficulties

Her lawyer has dropped her. Reviewers have ignored her. Her books are not selling. While millions await the upcoming film version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," N.K. Stouffer, author of "Rah and the Muggles" featuring Larry Potter, is pursuing her lawsuit against J.K. Rowling for allegedly stealing her ideas. But so far, the public clearly prefers Harry over Larry and Rowling's Muggles over Stouffer's.
