J.K. Rowling's Plagiarism-the case/trial

Again in October of 2010, J.K. Rowling was accused of plagiarism in her renowned and famous books "Harry Potter." According to representatives of Adrian Jacobs, Rowling had copied his 16-page book in "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire." According to sources, both books have manys similarities. Jacobs wrote a book about wizards, their secret schools, special wizarding places, magic powders as travel mechanicisms, and games on magical trains. In the "Goblet of Fire," Rowling has used many of these places or objects to write her book. She claims that her storyline is original but readers and other sources can see the similarites in both books. Rowling's case is to go to trial in 2011. The media expects it to be a "billio" dollar case with lots of public media and dispute.
