In June, the estate of Adrian Jacobs issued proceedings at London’s High Court against Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, claiming that [J.K.] Rowling copied substantial parts of “The Adventures of Willy the Wizard — No 1 Livid Land” written by Jacobs in 1987.
It said the plot of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” copied elements of the plot of Willy the Wizard, including a wizard contest, and that the Potter series borrowed the idea of wizards traveling on trains
Future filings will include that Rowling copied the ideas of wizards using wands, living in England, and speaking English…

Hey, I have the trademark on "take you to the cleaners"…

Oh man, I wish your board had a digital high five option because I totally would have used it on that comment. I laughed for a good minute when I first read it.
