Well, it's sort of like this:
If you created an international phenomenon, you'd probably be grateful for someone to create a background site so people would understand your books better.
But publishing it- especially when JKR is writing an encyclopedia HERSELF- is stepping over a boundary. Wouldn't you be like, "Hey, books are my job!"
I would.
Of course, I'm incredibly impatient, so maybe my word doesn't count for much...
