Despite being written for children who are just about able to grasp English, millions of adults have gone mental for Harry Potter.
After what seems like the decades of guff about Harry making magic potions, going through the stages of puberty and making his own magic sap, the epic adventure is coming to an end.
With one more film to go, JK Rowing has now got so much money that She'll be able to buy the entire human race if she wants. But her evil plans might be thwarted. She's being sued by British author Adrian Jacobs, who claims she might have pinched a few ideas.
Not that we're legal experts or anything, but a few things don't quite add up to us. It basically sounds like a crazy half-hatched scheme that a group of pissed-up tramps have dreamt up. Just look at the following quote from The Press Association to see the basic problem:
?Rowling was added as a defendant to an ongoing legal claim filed against publisher Bloomsbury for alleged copyright infringement by the estate of the late Adrian Jacobs?.
Not spotted it yet? Well Adrian Jacobs isn't actually alive. A bit of searching around reveals that he died back in 1997 before the Harry Potter pandemic came to ruin our lives. So it might be slightly difficult for the main challenger in the case to step forward and state why JK Rowling is a thieving cow. That's unless he cast some sort of black magic on himself in order to return to the realm of the living. So how did the case come about? It's reported via The Daily Mail that Adrian Jacobs:
?Allegedly sent the manuscript to Christopher Little, the literary agent at Bloomsbury Publishing who went on to represent Miss Rowling, but it was rejected?.
And what happened to the works of Adrian Jacobs? Well he did go on to get his book full of spells and other bollocks published at a smaller company. Back in 1987, children everywhere got the chance to read the Adventures Of Willy The Wizard No 1: Livid Land. We can only imagine that it wasn?t very popular because he had to use his cock as a magic wand due to being a poor wizard and the semi-pornographic material wasn?t suitable for kids.
So with the death of the original author, who is stepping forward to challenge the powerhouse that is JK Rowling? Step forward his son and grandson, who see some similarities between both works. So what do they have in common? The name of mystic portal where knitting dragons live? Or how about a lost relic that can only be found in the jungles of Bumbleforzal. No, it's much worse:
?In both books, the boy wizard competes in a magic contest?.
What? Both books have magic contestants in them? Christ, this is only going to open the door for similar legal battles. Imagine when Traffic Cops takes Road Cops to court for having similar content. It's going to be a sad day.

lmao I’d love to be in that court case. JK Rowling probably gets these letters and laughs her ass off.

Come off it dudes!
This is all one-sided and dumb. What if Rowling and her close friend and agent Christopher Little are lying in their teeth and have been hiding for years? I mean, why didn’t she go to the Oscars? Surely, you didn’t buy that “have to write a book” crap!
What if the whole Harry Potter thing is a rip-off? And what if Jacobs team could prove it? If you were Rowling and you knew you were guilty you wouldn’t leave the house. And you would do whatever it took to stop them being heard. Right?
