Rowling v. Kelly

8/3/2019 Rowling v. Kelly

1/5

From Hardy, William

William Kelly, part of the Bogside Artists is making numerous accusations on bogs,

documents and newspaper against Rowling on plagiarism against him and AdrianJacobs Willy the Wizard.

I cant say these accusations are false but they are weak, information from a very

personal, bias and senseless prospective, in other words William Kelly himself. Hehas no proof, evidence, logic or reason to back it up.

What Mr. W. Kelly doesnt realize that there are hardly any similarities and he is

nitpicking random parts of the book that he believes is plagiarism. The parts that are

similarities are just ideas and plots that anyone can think of, because they have.

These are the plots and ideas similarities that Mr. Kelly says both works have, cryingplagiarism and accusing of Rowling of stealing from him.

PLOTEXPLANATION: Important similarities are in WHITE. VERY IMPORTANT or essential

similarities are in caps and White.

Joseph Campbell published a book called A Hero With a Thousand Faces andanother book called The Power of Myth with an interview by Bill Moyers. whereCampbell explain his theory of the seminal work of comparative mythology and the

journey and steps for a archetypical hero to undertake, the journey and steps thatparallels the ideas and plots that William Kelly and Paul Allen, the trustee of Willy

the Wizard of stealing. There are more than plenty examples have used those plots

and ideas from countless of different sources, like Rowling.


3/5

STAR WARS by George Lucas

George Lucas Star Wars franchise is the best examples this because Campbell is

one of Lucas teachers and the documentary Star Wars: A Legacy Revealed explainthe connection between Star Wars and Campbells theory. When the Star Wars

franchise began, Luke Skywalker the main hero is a LOST, ABANDONED, AMIRACULOUS SURVIVOR. Luke has low-self esteem as one of- his MENTOR Obi-wan Kenobi ask him to come to Alderaan but he doesnt want to go because of his

uncle. Then he goes to a dozen of SURREAL WORLDS to the Death Star, the Moon of

Endor and Yavin. This is what Campbell calls it The Threshold Crossing. This is themoment that you are not in Kansas anymore, you are going into a bizarre place and

the people the hero will met are not like the people back at home. Then LukePROVES HIS COURAGE by going tough and dangerous task by saving Princess Leia

from the Death Star, PERFORMS MAGICAL FEAT by destroying the Death Star by

using the force instead of using the computer. CAST OF SERIES INTRODUCED whenLuke meets Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca (who is a animal that he communes)

and etc. or when the prequel when we meet Padme, Master Windu and etc. Lukefights two SATANIC VILLAINS such as Darth Vader and Lord Sidious. They callAnakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader) the CHOSEN ONE.

POWER RANGERS by Haim Saban and Disney Inc.

The Power Rangers franchise began in 1993 and it is based of a Japanese showcalled Super Sentai that aired years earlier. Power Rangers has a lot of ideas and

plots that Kelly accused of Rowling. The most common idea and plot that I see inPower Rangers franchise is the CAST OF SERIES INTRODUCED where in the first

season have Jason (the Red Ranger), Trini (the Yellow Ranger), Zach (the Black

Ranger), Kimberly (the Pink Ranger), Billy (the Blue Ranger) and then later Tommy(the Green Ranger). The CAST OF SERIES INTRODUCED goes through out the entire

franchise timeline. Many of the seasons they get a MENTOR such as Zordon and a

SATANIC VILLAIN such as Rita Repulsa or Lord Zedd or demon villains from theLightspeed Rescue season. They always perform MAGICAL FEATS, COMMUNES

WITH WILD ANIMALS (especially in Season 3, the Lost Galaxy and Wild Forceseasons) AND MUST PROVE THEIR COURAGE, as in some episode they lose their

courage and gain them back again or they first reject becoming Power Rangers but

prove their courage to believe they should be Power Rangers. They find themselvesin a SURREAL WORLD many times such as both in their movies and in many

episodes, one best example is the Island of Illusion episode in season 1. Watch the

Power Rangers franchise and try to find the ideas and plots that Kelly accusedRowling of stealing. The first Power Rangers get BULLIED AT SCHOOL by Bulk and

Skull, even though the bullies are not good bullies.

INUYASHA by Rumiko Takahashi

Inuyasha began as a manga comic series 1996 and then ended in 2008, in the middle

of that time frame it became a successful Anime series. Inuyasha is a LOST,


4/5

ABANDONED, A MIRACULOUS SURIVOR. The Inuyasha world has a CAST OF SERIES

INTRODUCED with the characters of Kagaome, Miroku, Sango and Shippo, thenthere are the major supporting cast such as the SATANIC VILLAIN of a demon called

Naraku. INUYASHA COMMUNES WITH WILD ANIMALS all the time, especially withKoga and Shippo and at times he PROVES HIS COUAGE when fighting enemies.

Kagome goes to a SURREAL WORLD between her modern world and the federalworld. Inuyasha performs MAGICAL FEATS and must find the Shikon Jewel, similarto the PHILOSOPHERS STONE. I see Inuyasha PINES FOR HIS MOTHER AND

FATHER where Inuyashas past with his mother pains him at times and so as his

father, especially how Inuyasha gets his Tessaiga sword and Myoga always talksabout his father. Although Kohaku is not the main character, I see at the start he has

his own storyline by having low-self esteem but works on that later in the series. Isee Kohaku storyline similar to Harry Potters in many ways and personally other

than the main characters, Kohaku is my favorite character. Inuyasha have A

MENTOR such as Myoga, Lady Kaede and sometimes Sesshomaru. In a movie,Inuyasha WAS BULLIED when he was young. They go into an ENCHANTED FOREST

all the time where there are demons and magical entities in the forest. Check outInuyasha both version of the Anime and Manga and then see what plots and ideasare in this series that Kelly accused Rowling of stealing.

Again, since now several writers have thought of these ideas and plots, so can

Rowling. Travelers with Li Po are not the only ones that can come up with these

plots and ideas, let alone he believes he is the first writer ever.

WIZARD OF OZ by L. Frank Baum

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is known as a classic movie in 1939 that was based on

a book in the year 1900, just the start of the 20th century. They have CAST OF SERIESINTRODUCED with Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, Glinda

the Good Witch and etc. There is a SATANIC VILLAIN known as the Wicked Witch of

the West. Dorothy COMMUNES WITH WILD ANIMALS such as the Cowardly Lionand the flying monkeys. She PROVES HER COURAGE, PERFORMS MAGICAL FEAT

with the ruby slippers, finds herself in a SURREAL WORLD, goes into anENCHANTED FOREST and meets Glinda, THE MENTOR. Dorothy is a LOST,

ABANDONED AND MIRACULOUS SURIVOR as she survives a tornado.

X-Men series by Stan Lee

The X-Men is a major successful comic book series of the Marvel Comics and X-Menis one of the works that Rowling read and one of the influenced to her books. X-Men

have a CAST OF SERIES introduced with Wolverine, Cyclopes, Jean Grey, Storm andetc. They have a Mentor of CHARLES XAVIER. Most of the characters PINES FOR

THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER of there abandoned parents. They perform MAGICAL

FEATS due to their powers and they always PROVE THEIR COURAGE when going upagainst enemies and missions. They get BULLIED AT SCHOOL because of their

powers, in the series X-Men: Evolution they are bullied once they are found out of


5/5

their powers. They get SATANIC VILLAINS such as Apocalypse, Minster Sinister and

my personal favorite X-Men villain, Magneto. So I dont find it a coincidence that X-Men has many of the ideas and plots that Kelly accused of Rowling and also this is

one of the works that Rowling admitted that she actually read. X-Men have theCOMMUNES WITH WILD ANIMALS, especially with Beast.

The point that I am making that any one can come up with these ideas and plots thatKelly accused of Rowling from stealing from him because so many works have these

ideas and plots, they can then anyone can but Mr. Kelly is too ignorant to see that.

There are more than plenty of other sources that Rowling could have gotten herideas and there are more then plenty of other examples from other works that had

used these ideas and plots. He once accused of Rowling and her PRs putting in theseprecedents just to protect her theft. So that shows his personal obsession and

ignorance to this subject.

He also wrote Mr. Kelly fully knows Rowling read his work. How does he know?

What proof that she read her work? What proof that she hadnt read any otherworks or sources because there are more than plenty but that might be anunderstatement?

Try to find the top 100 successful fictional works and try to find the ideas and plots

in those works. A good suggestion would be try to look for other fictional work from

Anime, Manga or classical works before 1990. Especially read Joseph Campbells AHero With a Thousand Faces and the documentary Star Wars: A Legacy Revealed,

then you see their philosophy parallels with the ideas and plots that Kelly accused ofRowling of stealing.
