Did JK Rowling steal her ideas from another author???

Everything has already been done. Anything anyone does now is stealing from something else.

That is not true. I have yet to see a book about a giant lizard sorcerer fighting to rescue his white tiger princess love from the clutches of the lethal rath-gal, which are a race of kitten swordsmen.

Why the hell hasn't that been written yet?

I was in the process of doing so but then got tired of thinking, so it ended up being a Star Wars fanfic but with animals instead of people. (Wookies are otters and Chewbacca is a giant turtle)

That sounds familiar, actually O_O

The estate of Tolkien could probably sue every fantasy writer to produce any novel after the release of the Lord of the Rings novels.

In September 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found not only that Rowling did not plagiarise the Muggle characters, but also that Stouffer had lied to the court and doctored evidence to support her claims. Judge Allen G. Schwartz fined Stouffer $50,000 United States dollars for this "pattern of intentional bad faith conduct." Stouffer was also ordered to pay a portion of the plaintiff's attorney's fees.

Rofl, pwned. Meow =^_^=

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harry Potter, Thundercats, Super Mario Brothers, Shrek 2.

Absolutely. There isn't a single fantasy-genre author I've read who doesn't steal some aspect of LoTR; the Mountain of Doom in Robert Jordan's much-loved Wheel of Time series, from Terry Goodkind's "Wizard's First Rule", in the Shannara series by Terry Brooks.

JK Rowling is hugely guilty of this too giant spiders in "Chamber of Secrets"; Shelob, anyone? The idea of a "Dark Lord"?

This is the reason why most of my writing is based on my crazy-ass dreams.

My friend says that if you want some really freaky dreams you should eat a spoonful of sauerkraut before going to bed. Try it, see if it works for you =^_^=

No court would hear any case of that nature.

Read "Comparison of Book and Characters"and then "Outcome of Court Case." That pretty much says it all.
