Dmitry Yemets, the author of the Russian parody of the Harry Potter series, Tanya Grotter, has been accused of plagiarising JK Rowling's work; JK's lawyers threaten legal action if the book is not withdrawn by November 10.&br;&br;"One hero is an orphan with secret magical powers who wears glasses, flies around and has a strange scar on his forehead, the other is an orphan who wears glasses, flies, has secret magical powers and a strange mole on her nose.&br;&br;The first is Harry Potter, whose tales have sold millions of copies since the first one was published in 1997. The other is Tanya Grotter, who appeared last August in 'Tanya Grotter and Her Magical Double Bass,' a Russian adaptation of J.K. Rowling's stories.&br;&br;Dmitry Yemets, the creator of Grotter, says his character is a parody, but Rowling's lawyers, her Russian publishers and Warner Bros. see it differently. &br;&br;They say Yemets' book is plagiarism and have sent a letter to his publishers, Eksmo, threatening court action unless the book is withdrawn by Nov. 10.&br;&br;'We think the publication of the book has violated the rights of our client,' said Leyla Litvinova, a senior lawyer at LeBoeuf, Lamb, Green and MacRae, pointing out the similarities between the two books. &br;&br;'Look at the cover, and the way it is written and the style. ... You can go on forever.'"&br;&br;TheMoscowTimes.com
