I hate to say this dear, but claiming that Rowling "stole" the main 
idea does not make it true. I have yet to see ANY significant 
similarity between the two books-- while we are at it, ANY similarity 
at all that ahs anything to do with the story. So far the only thing 
claimed by Stouffer have been the use of a a word which is in the 
dictionary (to which the authors have totally separate meanings), and 
common plot devices used in fairy tales (castles, etc.) We are not 
just talking about copyright law here-- we are talking about common 
sense.

The plots of the two books have NOTHING in common. Stouffer is not 
writing about witches and wizards or anything remotely related to 
Rowlings books.

So where are you getting this "Yes, it is true...?"
