I always had a damn feeling that Harry Potter was nothing but a rip off of Starwars!

more to the point, star wars was a rip off of many story templates through history....more like a "classic" hero story template

Many stories have a lot of things in common. Even ancient ones though I can't remember the examples because it's been too long since I've been to school.

Supposedly there are only 7 truly original story templates. In saying that I was never a fan of Harry Potter because it was so obvious a rip-off, not just of Star Wars but LOTR as well.

Anyone notice that of the "classics" (as Potter will undoubtedly and possibly undeservedly earn that title) of the twentieth century deal with deep themes and intricate human emotions, while the plot of Harry Potter is pretty basic?
