J.K. Rowling Accused of Plagiarism Again

Once again author of the renowned Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, is accused for plagiarism. On a law suit of about one-billion dollars, Paul Allen is attempting to settle credit on behalf of Adrian Jacob's estate. Adrian Jacobs is the author of, "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard" and died in 1997. Sir Allen believes that Rowling stole subjects from Adrain Jacobs and attempted to interject them into her story, "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire", the fourth installment of her series which came out July 2000. Rowling believes that she is falsely accused and has never read any of the books written by Adrain Jacobs. Rowling is sad to think that people think that she is not creative, and has to rely on the works of other writers to draw inspiration. Hopefully this is just another law suit that will be settled peacefully and all will soon be forgotten.
