Sometimes I get harry potter adults asking if Minnie is named after the hogwarts teacher and I think to myself "if I was going to name her after a YA novel character her name would be Katniss"
Hunger Games is better, fight me. We experienced a legit renneissance of YA lit in the last 30 years and there are people out here sleeping on Redwall and the Outsiders. I dont even mind that they read at the same level as a 12 year old. @bookstodon#HarryPotter

I haven't read Rowling, only seen the first two movies. It is true that she has borrowed a lot, though, which is perfectly fine as far as I am concerned. (Who doesn't?)
However, it used to annoy me that many people seemed to believe that Rowling was the first person in history to write stories such as Harry Potter.
