Well, keep us posted, Jack. Do get yourself some help with the copy editing and the rest if you’re serious about the project and want to write for the love of it. But also be prepared for disappointment if you plan for your work to go online or be published for real on paper. I doubt that Mrs. Rowling and her agents would want even pros to do book-length fan fiction or, for that matter, any fan fiction. Under U.S. copyright law, you must respect their wishes. Your only solution is to come up with different characters, etc.

Hi, Jack. I’m not a lawyer, but I suspect they’d say no. But, hey, what’s to prevent you from doing something with the characters’ names and other details greatly changed, including Mrs. Rowling’s name? Again, however, if you want to publish your book for real, then consult with an appropriate licensed attorney. Thanks. David

Hello there. I’m writting a book at home. What if my book is that J.K.Rowling goes back to a real Hogwarts school to redo what she had written–she is the star of the book. Some others books characters are used here and there. Is it possible to do and get it published. Please let me know. Thank you, Jack.
