Angy:
Besides J.K. Rowling sustains that her books aren't afected by the 
influence of the J.R.R. Tolkien books, I'm agree that there are 
strong simillarities between the two stories. How about the Nazgul? 
these nasty creatures are mentioned not only in the HP books as 
Dementors, but also in the new "Eragon" book as Ra'zac.
