Famous Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has lost a court battle in London’s high court to ban publication of a photo of her son. Her twenty month old son David had been photographed with her in Scotland and published by British newspaper the “Sunday Express”. Her claim is that the child’s right to privacy had been infringed and that any child at such a young age shouldn’t have to be subjected to the press. The Judge ruled that children didn’t get special treatment just because of what their parents decide to do for a career, including gaining fame from that career. Rowling and her husband do not agree with the ruling and have made plans to appeal. I think it’s all a bunch of bull. She should know by now that she is going to have pictures taken of her when she is out and about. If it’s really that big of a deal to her then perhaps she should take a hint from Michael Jackson and put blankets over her kids head. Otherwise, just deal with it.
