I saw somewhere that Diana Wynne Jones had been less than approving of Harry Potter, considering that Rowling had nicked her stuff. What was it though? What I think of as DWJ's motif—related parallel/alternate worlds—is absent from Harry Potter, and Harry's magic feels different, more codified.

Perhaps DWJ was reading the Draco Trilogy by mistake? She's really got a case there.

Current Mood: curious
