Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon (哈利波特与豹走龙) is the title (loosely translated into English; 豹走龙 is a character's name and it would be more accurate to transliterate it as Bao Zuolong rather than translate the meaning) of an unauthorized 198-page book written and published in 2002. Readers who have given Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon even a cursory read quickly noted many errors and inconsistencies between the book's story and the official series written by Rowling, though this wasn't really a problem since Rowling herself is guilty of this on multiple occasions. The story centers on a struggle between Harry and his classmates at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a mysterious wizard. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Harry_Potter_and_Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon   (620 words)

Harry Potter and the International Order of Copyright By Tim Wu Potter's takeoffs are different: They either borrow characters and put them in a new, foreign context (Potter in Calcutta) or just use the themes and ideas of Potter (as in Tanya Grotter's case) as inspiration for a different kind of story. Potter's publishers, in defense of strong global copyright, would say that works like Tanya Grotter are theft, and such theft destroys the incentive to write in the first place. Harry Potter in Calcutta, in which Harry meets up with various characters from Bengali literature, was recently pulled by its Indian publisher under threat. www.slate.com /id/2084960   (1496 words)

Harry Potter Birthday Controversy Harry Potter fans in China have gotten their hands on a fifth Harry Potter novel—but J. Rowling had nothing to do with it. And since the fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is unlikely to hit stores before spring 2003, birthday parties will probably be the major Harry event of 2002 until the second movie is released in November. Near the beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone it says that "tomorrow, Tuesday, was Harry's eleventh birthday." July 31 doesn't fall on a Tuesday very often. www.factmonster.com /spot/harrybirthday.html   (513 words)

Chinese pirates hawk Harry Potter - Harry Potter - MSNBC.com An unauthorized Chinese version of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” was on sale Sunday in Beijing, just two weeks after the book appeared in English and almost three months ahead of the planned October launch of the official Chinese-language edition.

A Chinese-character softcover version of the newest Harry Potter installment was being sold off a tarp in an underpass in downtown Beijing for 20 yuan, or $2.50, while the official English-language hardcover books sell in Beijing for the equivalent of $21. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/8777075   (987 words)

Chinese authorities investigate online posting of Half-Blood Prince The Potter books are so popular in China that an unknown Chinese author cashed in on Rowling's success in 2002 by penning a copycat adventure, Harry Potter And Leopard-Walk-Up-To-Dragon (corr), and attributed it to Rowling.

Origin of Fake Books Is Ukrainian Mystery In 2002, a Chinese publishing house issued "Harry Potter and the Leopard-Walk-up-to-Dragon," which was in fact a translation of JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit" with Potter and some other characters added to the mix. Publishers here say the Ukrainian authorities are doing nothing to stop the illicit trade, despite requests, and they note bitterly that most if not all printing presses in Ukraine are state-owned. The publishers of the real Potter series eventually obtained an injunction stopping distribution. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/09/AR2005100901160.html?nav=rss_print/asection   (764 words)

However, he also said it was meant in part as a parody of the Harry Potter series, but with roots in Russian culture and folklore.

While Tanya Grotter is an 11-year-old girl and rides a magical double bass instead of a broomstick, she shares several attributes with her near-namesake: Like Potter, she is an orphan, wears glasses and has an unusual mark on her face a mole on her nose. www.wired.com /news/culture/0,1284,56254,00.html   (693 words)
