Rowling On The Warpath

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is suing a Russian author and a Dutch distribution company in an effort to stop the global release of a book she says plagiarises her tales of magical teens. The book in question features a character named “Tanya Grotter,” a stunningly familiar-looking cover, and several plot twists mirroring the Potter series. The book’s author claims that his work is parody, and therefore protected under publishing law.
