You seem to be arguing that JKR should own the trademark on her universe and all of its elements, not copyright, and even then I'm not sure she'd have a case (IANAL). An encyclopedia really IS just explaining details from the book, what else should it possibly be? Essays are superfluous to that concept. They can ask them to not use the font, but not to not paraphrase a plot. Paraphrasing a plot point is not illegal. Copying an entire chapter and posting that is a problem, but using quotes to support a paraphrase is not.
