Harry Potter and the plagiarized books case
JK Rowling, the British author of the famed “Harry Potter [website]” series, dismissed claims as “absurd” and “unfounded” that she stole ideas from another author. Lawyers for the estate of late British author Adrian Jacobs filed legal action against Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing PLC earlier this week. They claim Rowling plagiarized parts of the book “Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire” from one of Jacobs’ books about Willy the Wizard. Rowling, who said she has never heard of Jacobs, or read his book, is applying to the court to have the case dismissed for being without merit.
