Rowling's work, if you can even call it that, is borrowed (or stolen) from a bunch of proper authors. She's a bit of a dick, who's getting rich off the work of the people she's borrowing from.
It would have been all right if she'd stuck to telling the story to her kids, but the woman has no shame.
I understand all of the anger about her plagiarism, but it doesn't really bother me. I feel like when someone creates a strong character, it's not because of originality but because the character fits their situation well. Would it bother you if someone wrote a spy novel and they were physically fit, smart, and good with women? Sounds like Bond to me. I just don't think you could write about a spy and not have him sound like Bond. Same goes with a young wizard.
I may not know enough to talk about harry potter and his similarities with other books, but Rowling does seem to exhibit some creativity in the storyline and the details of wizarding lives.
i don't know why i don't love this Brown ; )
I've just found it... guess it is the original Book... it also contaims 718 pages like the "original" one... frankly i've not yet got the time to read this one... but i think it is real....

Uh-oh.
You are. That is the famous fake. Someone has obviously tinkered with the page numbering, to make it look more authentic.Quote:
