Warning! The following post contains spoilers for the final book of the Harry Potter series.
I just remembered an old "third rock from the sun" episode when they said that the lion king was a rip-off of hamlet when i noticed something about the last chapters of deathly hallows.
The main hero walks into the enemy camp knowing he is going to be killed to sacrafice himself to protect others. When he reaches the camp he is taunted by his mortal enemy and killed by him, the bad guys then attack the last of the good guys now that the hero has fallen only for the hero to come back to life and kill the main bad guy. The evil side collapses without its leader and everyone lives happily ever after.
This is an abbreviated version of the end of harry potter series but is also the ending of another english book "The lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis in 1950.
Has Rowling shamelessly stolen the ending of a classic childrens story?
I think so.
