Subject: Harry Potter - AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I have just finished writing a fantasy novel. It involves a boy learning to be a wizard. He starts by trying to move a feather. Apparently, this makes it a stone-cold Potter clone! I have had great reviews on www.fanstory.com, but some lovely people who love to start at chapter 15 or so seem to think that St JK of Rowling has patented the concept of learning the art of magic! I started this book before Harry P was a glint in a wordprocessor's screen and if any book was an influence it would have been "A Wizard of Earthsea", written decades beore. I have not read a single word of the damn books or seen more of the movies than the unavoidable trailers before I could find the mute button on the RC. My nascent mage has his voice break in public, has a beard, toasts 140-foot dragons into ash and ends up fomenting a rebellion against the Guild that raised him. Harry bloody Potter? HA!
