Harry Potter is a blatant ripoff of heaps of stuff. Ever since I started reading LOTR, I hated myself for ever liking HP. The following things are what JK edited a bit.The one on the left is the original, the one on the right is the ripoff.Gandalf - Dumbledore Nazgûl - Dementors Spiders of Mirkwood - Spiders of Forbid. Forest Black Breath - Dementor's Breath (just my name for the ripoff) Sam Gamgee - Ron Weasley Basilisk - Probably got the idea of a serpent from Smaug Sauron - Voldemort Orcs/Goblins/ Uruks - Goblins of Gringotts Watcher in the Water - Giant Squid And the list goes on...[ July 12, 2002: Message edited by: NicktheOrc ][ July 12, 2002: Message edited by: NicktheOrc ]
