Rowling gains action against publication of the photo of her son
//By Raquel at 07th 2008
In 2004, when David, son of JK Rowling, had only 1 year and a half of age, a photographer used long-range lens to take a photo, published in the Sunday Express, which shows the author, her husband and David being pushed in a buggy.
The intention of the magazine was to illustrate an article about the approximation of the author to the motherhood and to the familiar life. Jo, however, not liking the exhibition of her son, entered with an action against the Express Newspapers and the Big Pictures, agency that supported the photograph.
The original denunciation of the writer and her husband was disregarded by a court of London in last year, taking the couple to appeal against the decision. She told that she took the action because she wanted her children to grow “free from unwarranted intrusions into their privacy”.
In a judgment divulged in writing on Wednesday, a judges’ panel respected the appeal. The couple pronounced about the decision:
“We understand and accept that with the success of Harry Potter there will be a measure of legitimate media and public interest in Jo’s professional activities and appearances. However, we have striven to give our children a normal family life outside the media spotlight.”
“We are immensely grateful to the court for giving our children protection from covert, unauthorised photography; this ruling will make an immediate and material difference to their lives.”
Anthony Clarke, one of the judges who judged the appeal, said that the children of famous parents must have the same right as those of “normal” parents.
“If a child of parents who are not in the public eye could reasonably expect not to have photographs of him published in the media, so too should the child of a famous parent.”
For losing the case, the Big Pictures will have to pay most of the cost of the process, which is probable to reach hundreds of thousands of pounds.

At first you think: ‘Why?’ And then you see the eyes of the kids being shown round the set and you think: ‘Oh that’s why.’ Because if it’s not nailed down, it’s going to disappear.”
