[HPforGrownups] Nancy Stouffer vs. J.K. Rowling

While re-looking at the alleged 'Infringement Examples' I came across something that very few people realize and just makes N. K. Stouffer look like an idiot (not that the books don't do that well enough).  She claims that the 'Sorcerer's Stone' is a rip off of her 'Worry Stone'.  Well if it is she's suing the wrong people!  The 'Sorcerer's Stone' otherwise known as the 'Philosopher's Stone', 'Elixir' or 'Grand Magistry' is actually, NOT a stone.  It is an elixir that, according to the ancient art of alchemy, will turn base metals into gold or silver.  Alchemy emerged in China and Egypt in the 3rd century B.C. So Ms. Stouffer has her work cut out for her if she wishes to seapena the ancient alchemists for stealing her work.  Added to the 'Sorcerer's Stone'/'Worry Stone' claime is the fact that one must drink the elixir.  Well...yes if one wants immortal life one must drink the elixir.  But, Ms. Stouffer claims that this is JUST LIKE her 'Drinking water from the well of desire' bit...sadly, immortal life and....whatever the water from the well of desire gives you are not the same and not even close (but we knew that right?).  

Anyway, I do not believe that children who read the HP books, then Ms. Stouffers books will confuse anything in regards to the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.  This woman is just an idiot trying to get money of something that is real, though never actually created, unless you count TNT as the 'Grand Magistry'.
