I was very happy to finally get a hold of all the Harry Potter series and I have now read them twice! As a 41-year-old woman I found them quite good and very enjoyable easy reading!
However I was sort of distressed when I began to watch a series from the UK called Worst Witch! I wondered just how much Ms. J.K. Rowling has taken from this show? Now I'm wondering if the writer's of worst witch have been also seeing the closeness of theme, style and subject matter?
Is the Harry Potter series a rip-off of earlier writers efforts? Hey it's pretty easy to change a few things and have the stories nearly the same but still different! It just seems odd that I haven’t heard anyone say anything about this!
I hope that Fans of Worst Witch and Harry Potter can see that there are several strong similarities between the two I guess you can enjoy both of them as I do, then try to decide which came first! And which is better?
