Please don’t support the terrible Rowling

@stux haven't for a while now..

Never got the books popularity...

Did read them and noticed the problems straight away

@Noortjevee  

I never liked it in the first place lol, pirated  some movies but meh 🤷

@stux i seen most in cinema...people took me to see em, i always thought they were ok low attention fun

@Noortjevee @stux

The only things JKR brought to the table were cruel interconnects between the much better sources she stole from, plus lawyers.

When I read the first HP book, I thought it was a fanfic homage to the Worst Witch series or maybe Chrestomanci series. Or Books of Magic for the protagonist. Or Agatha Christie for plot. Nope. Complete rip-off.

OK, time to watch some Worst Witch! Or Owl House!

A pretty good summary of the wherefroms and examples:

Harry Potter and the possible plagiarism of one J. Rowling

Note: Rowling’s middle name is not in fact Kathleen, that is part of her pseudonym, she does not seem to have an actual middle name. J.K…

@jakebrake @Noortjevee @stux Have you seen the Conrad Edison series? I was surprised he wasn't sued. It was just a darker version of HP.
@jakebrake @Noortjevee @stux Looking at the Worst Witch, I can see the similarity, though HP seems different enough.
