JK Rowling Launches Fresh Appeal Against Photo Agency  3/11/08

British author J.K. Rowling has re-launched her bid to prevent a photo agency from selling a photograph of her young son.

The Harry Potter creator - real name Joanne Murray - attempted to sue photo agency Big Pictures and Britain's Sunday Express magazine last year (07) after it printed a long-lens photograph of her, her husband and their son David.

The publication settled the claim but a London court threw her case against the agency out of court.

However, her lawyers are now reviving their case at the Court of Appeal in a bid to block further publication.

Rowling's lawyer Richard Spearman says, "The claim is not about the right of the adult. It is about the rights of the child."
