Okay, I'm the very first to defend copyrights ... but I think this is really dumb. They aren't doing anything that will cause her to lose reputation or money. If they were illegally copying text or showing the movies, that would be something else.
If I home-make a Harry Potter costume for my son that isn't officially licensed, is she going to come sue me? I can't see where this is a copyright violation.
Rowling, as a person, drops a few notches in my estimation.
Booo.

ETA: Okay, I'll reserve judgment on Rowling 'till I hear if she is behind this or just the publishers...
