        Rowling stole the idea of the super-rich under pressure orphan kid from Dickens, the Werewolves, Dorfs and Elves and their magic tricks and other magical stuffs from Andersen and the brothers Grimm, the "Muggels" word from Kendall, the idea of the wizardry school and the annual tournaments from Le Guin and Horowitz, and even the Quidditch game and somehow the sorting hat idea from Christopher and his Tripads series [and only gods know what else from whom.. I think there is a clear message in it. Stick to the Classics. That’s the real treasure worth to read.
Christopher himself stole the idea of Tripads from Wells. In fact, every writer depend on her/his talent is somehow a thief and an idea lifter. But what makes a work one of the Classics? Clearly, not just a good story or professional writing, but the depth and the hidden layers of the work. That is the key. And as for the Tripads series : Glorifying the freedom, free-thinking and individualism. These are what makes this classic series worth to read. Especially for adults.
