Hali Bote yu huang jin jia 哈利・波特与黄金甲 [Harry Potter and the Golden Armor] by Rowling, J.K - 2000

Beijing: Renmin wenxue chubanshe, 2000. Paperback. 170p., paperback, very good, cover art depicting Harry riding a dinosaur. An entirely fraudulent Chinese entry in the Harry Potter series; not an unauthorized translation, but a whole new book ghostwritten in Rowling's name, with the English publication information for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and the ISBN for the Chinese translation of that title. In 2007, the NY Times published an article by Howard French on the topic of fake Harry Potter books. French wrote that "Chinese readers could not wait for the official release of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' the much anticipated seventh and concluding book in the series, a little more than a week ago. And they did not have to. A book with the same title came out a full 10 days before the official worldwide English-language release on July 21 - a wholly unauthorized version that bears nothing in common with the instant best seller written by J. K. Rowling." There are at least a dozen different books of this type, masquerading as official Rowling titles and making use of her characters, produced to cash in on Pottermania in a country without strong intellectual property protections.
