Rowling, her various publishers and Time Warner, the owner of the rights to the ''Harry Potter'' films, have taken numerous legal actions to protect their copyrights, and also have fielded accusations of copyright theft themselves. The worldwide popularity of the ''Harry Potter'' series has led to the appearance of a number of locally-produced, unauthorised sequels and other derivative works, leading to efforts to ban or contain them.

Stauffer (other)
Stauffer (also commonly spelled " Stouffer" and "Stover" in North America) is a German surname, the origin of which derives from the Proto-German word ''staupa'', meaning "steep."

Many of these hills and mountains serve as the basis for the names of such places as Donaustauf, Hohenstaufen, Staufenberg, Regenstauf, Staufen im Breisgau, and the Staufens of Switzerland and Austria. Stauffer surnames derive from these hills. The Swiss Mennonite Stauffers common in the U.S. and Canada derive their name from a hill called ''Stouffe'' or ''Stauffenalp'' just southwest of the town of Röthenbach im Emmental in Switzerland. Notable people with the surname include: *Brenda Stauffer (born 1961), former field hockey player * Christian Stauffer (born 1579), Swiss Anabaptist leader * Dietrich Stauffer (1943–2019), German professor of theoretical physics at Cologne Un ...
