If anything, Harry Potter steals concepts from Neil Gaiman's Books Of Magic for which he filed a lawsuit against JK Rawling and rather than hash it out in court she chose to settle up.

The core concept:

Chosen one
Boy with lightning bolt scar
Magic
Pet owl.

Is it really a ripoff of the same guy did both movies?

What story isn't said to have influenced HP? Appears to be derivative of everything. ;)

All I know is, Prof. Lockhart doesn't hold a candle to the genius that is Big Daddy Wiz.

An old homo man who's a headmaster

I'm sure other movies you watch have men that are head masters

Just to be clear, you're comparing Young Sherlock to the MOVIES of Harry Potter, as far as looks, not necessarily the books? If Christopher Columbus had a hand in both, then duh, directors typically have a distinct look to their work.

Do you really have this much time on your hands or are you neglecting your kids to tell us about the similarities between films, one of which was written by the other's director?

This whole write up is such an unabashed plagiarism of a cracked.com article that just came out. I note that the OP forewent the inclusion of any citation.

Title should be changed to:

"mizzoukills and a wall of text plagiarized cracked.com"

You realize Mizzou's OP was back in Sept of 2015 right?

Kills wrote this back in september. It's kind of hard to plagiarize something that came out after you wrote it. As ridiculous as kills' post was it seems like cracked in fact plagiarized him.

Ah I see, I just saw this on the website today and had this thread pulled up from earlier in the background.

Either way, this has been around for forever, here's a piece from 2014
