Isn't it disappointing to find out that J.K.Rowling did not come up 
with the idea of Harry Potter but copied it from a previous book 
titled "The Legend of Rah and the Muggles".

In Rah and the Muggles there's a character called Larry Potter. 
Muggles are people who care for two orphaned boys who magically turn 
their dark homeland into a happy place. In J.K. Rowling's books, 
muggles is the term wizards use for humans who cannot 'do' magic.

Stouffer's book has a character called Lilly Potter. In J.K. 
Rowling's series, Lily Potter is Harry's mom.

The Larry Potter book had characters identified as "Keeper of the 
Gardens". In J.K. Rowling's book, there are "Keeper of the Keys."

Stouffer also says that Rowling's books use similar illustrations. 
Stouffer and her publisher distributed illustrations of Larry Potter 
the author said she designed in the 1980s. The pictures show a very 
noticeable resemblance: like Harry Potter, Stouffer's character has 
large glasses and wavy dark hair.

We would all be very stupid to assume that this is a coincidence. How 
can Rowling make up a story about sitting in a train and making up 
the characters, while she took the ideas from Stouffer? J.K. Rowling 
is taking all the credit for characters she did not even 'make'!
