Harry Potter Plagiarism?! Source
1)Source- http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/18/entertainment/main6219192.shtml?tag=cbsnewsTwoColLowerPromoArea;morenews
CBS news wrote an article about J.K Rowling allegedly plagiarising the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book. It talked about how she was taken to court for these acsusations. I think that this source is very reliable because it is CBS and a news station. In order to write this article someone on the CBS news team had to investigate about this situation.
2)Case
Rowling stated that, "I am saddened that yet another claim has been made that I have taken material from another source to write Harry," she said. "The fact is I had never heard of the author or the book before the first accusation by those connected to the author's estate in 2004; I have certainly never read the book." J.K. Rowling explains how she completely appalled that she was accused of this. She alsa stated, "We will be applying to the Court immediately for a ruling that the claim is without merit and should therefore be dismissed without delay." This statement is very bold and easily understood that Rowling is very upset with these allegations. She was not charged with plagiarism of the fourth Harry Potter book, The Goblet of Fire.

Harry Potter Plagiarism-Case
In this plagiarism case, J.K. Rowling is involved. She is the author of the Harry Potter books. She was accused of plagiarizing her fourth book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." The people in charge of the estate of Adrian Jacobs are the people that accused Rowling of plagiarizing. They believe that she took ideas from one of Adrian's fantasy books. The case has been to court where it was dismissed.
I do not think J.K. Rowling plagiarized her fourth book. Also, I don't think she meant for it to be anything like Adrian Jacobs' book. J.K. Rowling could not have done anything differently since she was not plagiarizing anything and the courts agree with her.
Harry Potter Plagiarism- Source
When J.K. Rowling was being accused of plagiarism in her book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", Fox news covered the story. Fox researched the story and got quotes from the people involved. Fox talked about the things that were the same in both stories that made J.K. Rowling seem like she was plagiarising. It is important that Fox News covered this story because it means that the information is credible. This is a believeable and reliable source because Fox News covers many stories and they are always reliable. Many people believe what they say and rely on them.

Harry Potter Plagairism
J.K. Rowling was accused of plagiarizing Adrian Jacobs book "Willy the Wizard." According to Jacobs, both books have a wizard tournament and the wizards within the books travel by train. The US courts decided that they were going to throw the case out. I believe that this case is irrelevant because J.K. Rowling had already had 3 books out before this one, where the wizards were traveling by train.
