Willy The Wizard Comes Down Hard On JK Rowling

The Adventures Of Willy The Wizard No 1: Livid Land is a wonderful book wherein the protagonist possibly vanquishes evil by rubbing it incessantly with his magical buttock.

Since Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire basically has the exact same plot, sentence structure, verb-to-noun ratio and pie graphs, the heirs of the Willy Wizard estate have recognised it as unapologetic plagiarism. As such they are now suing JK Rowling either until she agrees to show them the exact location of Hogwarts, and to allow Willy Wizard a full seven-book scholarship there, or for 813 million dollars.

We honestly don't remember which.

When JK Rowling first decided to write Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire for the sole purpose of furthering her unholy satanic agenda, she probably had no idea why her dark lord, as he spoke from the belly of a freshly slain cat, demanded she do so by plagiarising a boring author that nobody ever heard of and would likely never read.

But that's just what she did. Allegedly. Well of course you know she probably didn't do it, but that's what two descendants of Adrian Jacobs are claiming. They are bound and determined to squeeze Rowling for £500 million in a British court of law. Either that or they're bound and determined to get their dead dad a butt-load of publicity with a lawsuit like this.

Here's what it says on All Headline News:

'Legal papers filed by Jacobs' estate list similarities between the books, including 'shared references' to a wizard train and prison and a magical contest where the boy wizard must rescue human hostages taken captive by half-human creatures. In addition to £500 million [$813 million] in damages, the estate is seeking an injunction to prevent further sales of the offending book, or a share in the tome's profits'

If that's not enough for you - here's what a Willy Wizard fan wrote about the book on Amazon.co.uk:

'This book is great for kids, it very much appears to resemble Harry Potter. I love this book, ive grown up with it and it has been signed by the author Adrian Jacobs. i really do recommend this book to every child. it is very hard to get a hold of and is extremely rare. Its about Willy the Wizard who goes to wizard college on a train and adventures begin to happen, you will really have to read this book yourself its great!!'

If this lawsuit works and the Willy Wizard people end up with part-ownership in all of Rowling's bank accounts, let us simply state we once wrote a book called ‘The Wizard's Willy.' It was about a magician who died but most of his genitalia lived on for another 100 years helping those in need. We haven't actually read Willy Wizard, but the title alone definitely borrows heavily from our little-read masterpiece.

We're just saying that we're probably owed a little something too. British courts - save us a seat.
