stux⚡️Please don’t support the terrible Rowling
Noortje Van Leeuwen@stux haven't for a while now..
Never got the books popularity...
Did read them and noticed the problems straight away
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
Solo la 🌍 salva a la 🌎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:

Carolyn@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.
Onto my list too!
This is turning into a pretty good source for things to check out! Perfect for a Friday afternoon.

@jakebrake @CStamp @stux i agree...
If i may suggest one of my fave books, not tied to this.
"The thief of always" by Clive Barker.....
Amazing read
@Noortjevee @jakebrake @stux FWIW, it seems a movie for it is in the works. :)
"A live-action adaptation is currently in the works, scheduled to be directed by Jennifer Kent."
@CStamp @jakebrake @stux one has been teased so often i lost hope of a good one
(Also lost hope on a new Abarat book)
The Books of Abarat is a young adult fantasy series by Clive Barker, set in a magical archipelago of 25 islands, each representing an hour of the day, with a planned five books, of which three have been published: Abarat (2002), Days of Magic, Nights of War (2004), and Absolute Midnight (2011).
The series follows a girl named Candy Quackenbush as she navigates this world, battling darkness and discovering her connection to it, all brought to life with Barker's own surreal illustrations.
I always kinda identtified with Candy
not sure why
It might remain a mysterie forever
