<p dir="auto">Being a werewolf is NOTHING like having HIV/AIDS. Vampirism is and that was exploited to death in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Plus, being a werewolf is supercool and something you only have to deal with three nights a month. Having a stigmatizing illness is a constant struggle of seriously-not-very-awesome.<br />
Stick to superficially ripping off Roald Dahl. It's what you do best.</p>

<p dir="auto">Being a werewolf is very stagmitazing in the wizarding world. And a lot of children and grown ups have found solace and strength in the metaphors she made and the world she created.</p>

<p dir="auto">she rips off the writing style of CS LEWIS narnia the most. "he had a mustache; it was a mustache of a particular way" paraphrasing of course but<br />

<p dir="auto">I thought it was privately educated, middle-class boarding school kids who lap up Harry Potter more than anyone else.<br />
They sell far too well for that to be the case. I doubt even one in ten HP readers went to boarding school.<br />
I agree with the rest of what you say though.</p>

You probably meant the Dursleys, who are very similar to Dahl's caricatures, and not the Weasleys. Though I would say they're more like the Wormwoods in Matilda than the Twits.<br />
I don't think her books are overwhelmingly similar to Tolkien. I can think of more that Tolkien borrowed from other authors and works, actually.</p>

<p dir="auto">The Twits are evil disgusting characters. They are nothing like the lovable Weasleys. And I love Dahl.<br />
Containing influences from many other books does not make her unoriginal.<br />
And Hogwarts is a fantasy. You might be as well complain because most wardrobes don't transport children to Narnia!<br />
Basically, the OP's talking rubbish.</p>

<p dir="auto">The Weaselys are pure Roald Dahl's The Twits. The rest of Harry Potter's a blend of Jill Murphy's The Worst Witch and aspects of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.<br />
I do hate what the success of Harry Potter says about modern Britain. The vast majority of children who never went to private school living through a series of fantasy books rather than having real opportunities.</p>

She's nothing like Roald Dahl! Have you ever read either of them? It would seem not.</p>
