J.K Rowling is a fraud and a cheat! Harry Potter (HP) is a direct copy of The Lord of The Rings(LOTR)! Why hasn't she been sued yet? Before u send me hate mail (toocool.sashi@gmail.com please, i never check it!), read what i have to say.
1)Dumbledore and Gandalf : Dumbledore is an exact copy of Gandalf. Both are extremely powerful wizards who know everything abt their worlds, both are probably the most powerful people in their stories, the only match for them is Voldemort and Sauron(the main enemy in HP and LOTR respectively). Both their character trait is almost the same, both are arrogant for instance(dont say DD is humble, he just tries to be humble, but fails miserably!). Gandalf died in The Fellowship only to come back in The Two Towers. DD also died in book 6 and im sure he will have a very profound impact, dead or alive, in book 7.
2)Voldemort and Sauron : Sauron was called The Dark Lord and The Nameless One. Voldemort is called, as we all know, The Dark Lord, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Lol, shes such a cheat that woman, even i can change from active tense to passive tense! How obvious is that for a copy? There was not even 1 scene in LOTR which had Sauron, LOTR started with how Sauron was destroyed when he was on top of his powers and how he was gaining power, and how did HP start? With Voldemort destroyed at the height of his powers! And yes, there's no scene with Voldemort until the 4th book.
3)Harry Potter and Frodo : Both are unlikely heroes, both are very ordinary. Heroism, or the chance to become heroes rather is thrust forcefully on them, they'd both rather want a happy quiet life. Frodo in The Shire and well, Harry, he should only know!
4)Sam Gamgee and Ron : Faithful to their masters(sorry for calling Harry Ron's master!), and Sam is my favorite character in LOTR! That deserves another entry i guess.
God there were soooo many similarities that i found while reading the book, I totally forgot everything! oh yes Longbottom is a name found in LOTR!
Well all the josh is gone now, my hands are paining cos of the typing, but i remember one more thing....
5)Peter Pettigrew and Grima : Both are backstabbers and spies of the enemy. Peter gave information directly to Voldemort and Grima to Saruman. And Grima was known as Wormtongue in LOTR and Peter was, well, Wormtail!
I feel really bad when i read that only The Bible has outsold Harry Potter. I'm not saying HP is not addictive, it is! And it's much faster than LOTR, but the characters are copied! Somebody arrest that woman!
PS - I haven't found Snape's equivalent in LOTR. Thank god, cos I loooove Snape!!!!!
PPS - If you want to confirm my facts or if you're plain interested in LOTR, then read the books! They can seem really REALLY boring at the start(I read LOTR book one 4 times and put it down, only the 5th time I was jobless enough to continue!) but it's worth it. Don't waste a good book by watching the movie!
And, this is the first post in which I've tried to be as grammatically correct as possible. Cool no! |
