It's almost as if Rowling was guided by an invisable plagiarist ghost to copy essential characters of the Tolkien epic.
Although Harry Potter may be *entertaining* what I don't like is legions of little kiddies adoring Rowling thinking she is a genius, when all she has done is copy every single famous myth/fairy-tale in the English world. Rowling has copied Tolkien, the story of Cinderella and Enid Blyton amongst others.
Where Tolkien or Enid Blyton were pioneers in creating fantastic worlds - Rowling is such a blatant copy-cat. She just doesn't deserve all the credit she is getting.
Sure, I know some of you Rowling worshippers will get angry - but you have to admit she IS a clone.

I appreciate people's objective responses to my post. I had actually expected to be replied by juvenile little kids. It's a credit to this forum that everyone can post "objectively". Kudos.
