I am a die hard LOTR books and Harry Potter fapln. I love the fantasy in both. But yeah this satire cracks me up. Unfortunately there are people out there that would take this Apts word. No amount of explaining that Tolkein had all his books written before Harry Potter’s author was born would be lost on them. ROTFL
Get in line. Rumor has it Rudyard Kipling totally ripped off J.K. Rowling when he named the snakes in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Naginini becomes Nag and Nagina? Could you be any more obvious?I think Kip owes old J.K. an apology.

Oh that’s rich! My side hurts a little right now 🙂
THIS is why I decidedly chose NOT to read any of the Harry Potter books past book 1. One sad commentary. 🙁
The connections keep coming…
Harry Potter was pretty short, right? Aren’t Hobbits short too???

PS – hey all.. .i’ve read Ed C’s book “Coffehouse Theology” and it’s good stuff.. he blogs at: http://inamirrordimly.com/
Thanks David. I wish John Wesley hadn’t tried to steal so many of my ideas in that book, but what can you do?

No, no, no, Tolkien was obviously paying tribute to Rowling, not ripping her off.
Well played, Logan.
I had to do a double take to make sure this was satire. After my initial outrage I almost snarfed my coffee when I relized the joke was on me.
Yep… very convincing! 🙂
