HEADS UP PEOPLE!! I saw in November/December 2003's issue of Muse (a kids' magazine meh) some of Tolkien's original names for Gandalf. One was Dumbledore. So... who's the one copying here?! Maybe the mag was just making a joke; the box of papers was found in summer '03, not too long ago. But I don't know. has anyone else seen that article? ?

i just read it...oh deary me. he says that gandalf copied harry potter...umm when did the LOTR trilogy and the hobbit come out...wasn't it something like the 1930's-50's? (sorry! i dont know the correct dates, but i know it was early 1900's!) when was harry potter published...1997?! if anything i think ms. rowling has ripped off the LOTR.
another thing i found out...ms. rowling has not only ripped off LOTR, but Monty Python as well. There is a Python sketch is about lollies and candy and the candy 'Cockroach Cluster' is mention. This sketch was performed in Monty Python's Live at the Hollywood Bowl, and in Flying Circus. And what is the name of one of the candies that Ron and Hermione discuss buying for Harry in the Prisoner of Azkaban...interesting eh?....well i thought so...
but back to the site....i am really annoyed and discusted, but when this guy wins 11 oscars and numerous other awards...he can come and talk to me!!

I can't believe you guys are so worked up about that - by the way it's written I'm sure they didn't mean that.
I've seen those before and I really think it's some sort of spoof, so don't fret.

I agree with Mrs.Frodo I mean all the stuff they were comparing it to came out AFTER Lord of the Rings was written and yeah I'm pretty sure it has to be a joke because some stuff in there makes no sense...like the whole elf thing I mean it talks about elves having to be baking cookies and living in the north pole can you really write a story or make a movie about those kind of elves (also read the books and that's not how Tolkien describes them)? But some of the stuff ticked me off! These three were the worst (to me) 1)The Elves, clearly the most advanced and wise species, are also clearly gay. 2)Liv Tyler's immortal elf volunteers to give up her eternal life for a single romance with a human man. Could any man really be that well endowed? I find it unlikely. 3)Why couldn't Strider have been played by a monkey? Okay I'm done now lol

~Warning, this is a rave~ Meh! that site is so stupid. Jk stole stuff off everybody, where as Mr Tolkein MADE IT ALL UP BY HIMSELF!!!!!! Goodness gracious me! And to think that people love harry potter! It's LOTR and The Silmarillion, peoples. It's not as if any other modern author is going to put as much effort and time into their books, like Mr Tolkein. It's not as if Jk wrote a few languages that people now speak is it? Jk doesn't illustrate her work using pictures. I mean, Mr Tolkein was also an artist. Think about it. Who worked harder? Mr Tolkein. Who deserves heaps of credit (even if they may be dead)? Mr Tolkein. Who wrote the most beautiful books you are ever, ever going to read in your life? Mr Tolkein. All you jk fans, stop a minute and consider facts. Your lady plagarised. Our man didn't. Get with it Harry fans. Our man wins any day.
