This is an exceptionally touchy topic, in which the temptation towards original research is overwhelming, so I have established some very strict rules as to what can and cannot go into the main article. Top of the list is uncited material, by which I mean a comparison made without a third party reference that also makes said comparison. If you have a work you wish to include that is uncited, please place it on this subpage, and it may be cited and included in future. Please be sure that any such analogues were published before Harry Potter. Thank you. Serendipodous 13:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice page

Great job, authors of this page. Very useful, well-cited and enjoyable to read. jengod (talk) 19:21, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will take this to the talk page

Nadrail, you are effectively accusing Rowling of plagiarism, which is a crime. It is not Wikipedia's job, regardless of the evidence, to accuse people of crimes. Wikipedia can report others' accusations, but it cannot make those accusations itself. If you want to quote your sources claiming that Rowling took these ideas from Star Wars, feel free. But do not make those claims yourself. Serendi ^podous 23:26, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh please, the whole article is accusing her of plagerism. Everyone quoted is accusing her of that. A crime? LOL. But seriosuly, the soruces have pointed out it. I put possibly to keep it neutral. Please stop telling me Star Wars also borrowed from others, because itś irrelevant to the discussion and Lucas has already has spoken of inspirations, we also have a sperate article for that.

Also a lot of the borrowings are WP:DUCK, but since policy requires I put reliable sources, which is more than enough. The hero´s journey fails to distinguish the similarity of names in the villains and terminology.--Nadirali نادرالی (talk) 23:38, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
