JK ROWLING PLAGIARISM
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I remember this case and thinkin it was stupid. I saw post about this in tumblr years and years ago (2013?).
This aithor has accused rowling of plagiarism ages ago. This book came out 1974. There was a movie about this in 1986. A tv series in 1998-2001.
First Harry potter was published 1997.
Take a look at these and judge for yourself. To me there is awful lot of similarities

Mildred Hubble is the prototype of well-meaning ADHD child who sometimes does things intentionally and sometimes it's just her rotten luck combined with negative aspects of neurodiversity. Her life is either a shining example of creativity and heroism or a complete mess.

30 gifts for 30 days of November - Day 26
This is the twenty sixth of thirty Better Than a Poke in the Eye recommended gifts for the book lover in your life, even if that book lover is YOU!
Today’s recommendation is : The Worst Witch Colour Gift Edition by Jill Murphy
Whilst these are children's books, even now adults who loved this series as a child still read them, and that is why we have included them in this list.
The Worst Witch was one of Rachel’s favourite book series whilst growing up, so much so that when we recently cleared out her father’s possessions after he died, we found a whole box of Rachel’s childhood books that he had kept for her, and The Worst Witch books were amongst them and obviously very well read.
The Worst Witch tells the story of Mildred Hubble and her new best friend Maud trying their very best to get through their first term at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches. Mildred’s clumsiness at being a witch and the trouble it gets her into is the source of much hilarity in these books.
Jill Murphy finished writing The Worst Witch when she was just 18 years old, having started it when she was 15 and in a convent school, but it didn’t find a publisher until 6 years later as most publishers deemed the story about witches too scary for the children's market.
There are eight books in the series, the first, The Worst Witch, was published in 1974 with the latest book First Prize for the Worst Witch getting published in 2018.
Each book covers one term at the school. There are two terms each year: the Winter term, from September to January, and the Summer term, from March to July. In First Prize for the Worst Witch, the most recent book, Mildred is in the Summer term of her fourth year.
Jill Murphy illustrated all the books herself, with black and white drawings which are divine and invoke some very special memories for Rachel (and some of her friends too).
This particular edition is special as Jill has revisited these drawings and produced full colour versions for this anniversary edition of The Worst Witch.
Some readers may remember some of the live action films, tv series and the stage adaptation of the books. The television film, made by ITV in 1986 starred a cavalcade of well known actors such as Tim Curry, Diana Rigg and Fairuza Balk. It's worth seeking this out and having a watch. Tim Curry is especially creepy as the Grand Wizard

Five Minutes’ Peace By Jill Murphy Walker Books, 1986 Time is different when you’re a parent. You don’t have it the way you used to. How you spend it is not really your choice anymore. If you’re not looking after the kids, you’re doing housework. If you’re not doing housework, you’re working. If you’re not working, you’re doing life admin.  Instead of having time, you snatch time.
