Misty asked G. Norman Lippert:

don't you need permission from J.K herself to use her characters...?

G. Norman Lippert Ms. Rowling has been kind enough to allow writers to use her characters in their related fiction so long as 1) the stories are appropriate for kids (mine is-- most fan fiction is decidedly not), 2) it is not attributed to her, and 3) it is not sold or published for profit.

Simple enough.
