Hi Mr Cornwell. Hope you’re well? I was wondering if you could help me settle a dispute? My brother and I recently watch the latest Harry potter film we then began a debate about whether there would be any sequels. My brother said that there wouldn’t be as J K Rowling would refuse them but I said Warner Bros owns the rights to Harry Potter, names, places, etc and therefore can do as they wish. Could you tell if I am correct? So say if the ITV Series of Sharpe wished to do another episode where they killed Sharpe (God forbid) or if they wished to make a separate series Called “Harper” but you didn’t like the idea there would be nothing you could do about it legally as you sold the rights to the film company. Is my understanding correct? I hope this all makes sense and look forward to reading your next book. Thanks for your help

Rob
