Stouffer sued Warner Brothers, Scholastic, and J. K. Rowling for trademark infringement over the latter's use of the term Muggles in her Harry Potter books. U.S. District Judge[?] Allen G. Schwartz[?] rejected Stouffer's claims that she was plagiarized and fined Stouffer $50,000 for "submission of fraudulent documents" and "untruthful testimony". Stouffer was also required to pay a portion of the attorney's fees incurred by Rowling, Scholastic, and Warner Bros.
