5 Ways Harry Potter Ripped Off Lord of the Rings

Today LG let’s Bruce Goldwater, editor of LOTRFANBOY.COM, write a special guest editorial.

Being the world’s biggest Lord of the Rings fan I promised myself I would never read Harry Potter.  I don’t need to involve myself with something so childish when I should be devoting myself to better understanding the writing of Tolkein.  But after everyone was going so nuts over this last book I couldn’t help but take a peek.  But you know what I discovered?  Potter is just a big LOTR rip off check out all these things that are obviously stolen.

THE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS – Oh jeeze, I’m sorry… did you say “The Battle of Hogwarts” or “The Battle of Minas Tirith”?   Because I couldn’t tell the difference.  Oh wait I can… the Battle of Minas Tirith was awesome and didn’t feature anything as gay as School Desks coming to life.  Still, despite retarded touches like that, it was still such an obvious rip-off.  Couldn’t Rowling thought of something besides a gigantic battle to end her story?

DESTROYING A RING – So to destroy a the bad guy they had to destroy a ring?  Uhhhh… sound familiar to you?  I mean sure, she tried to cover up her plagiarism by making the ring several rings, and then making them not rings.  One was a snake, one was a tea cup (A TEA CUP, jeeze who wrote this my twelve year old sister?)… but still, her thievery is more apparent than that of Gollum.

WIZARDS – Did anyone else notice how every single character this book was a wizard?  Why didn’t they just call the book Gandelf Academy?  And that’s just the start of it.  Elves, giants and even magic all appear in Lord of the Rings.  There’s not one magical creature or being that Rowling doesn’t steal directly from Tolkein.

HER NAME – J.R. Tolkein, J.K. Rowling.  What bull-crap.  Her name isn’t really J.K. it’s Joanne or something.  She obviously just changed it to J.K. to fool idiots into thinking it was written by a fantasy writer with talent.  Unfortunately we’re not as dumb as she thinks.  We can tell the difference between a K and an R.

ENGLAND - This England place she keeps referring to is clearly a rip-off of Middle Earth.
