J K Rowling is accused of stealing Harry Potter story ideas

J K Rowling is accused of stealing Harry Potter story ideas

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been named in a lawsuit that claims the idea for the Harry Potter stories were stolen from someone else.

The court case was filed by an Australian agent, acting for the estate of Adrian Jacobs, who wrote a series of books about Willy the Wizard.

JK Rowling says: “The claims that are made are not only unfounded but absurd and I am disappointed that I and my UK publisher Bloomsbury, are put in a position where we have to defend ourselves.”
