Potter is more of a rip off of Lord of the Rings imo.

I've always had it pegged as a rip off of James and the Giant Peach, tbh. At the very least, there's a ton Rowling drew from Roald Dahl (including the raging bigotry).

I've also heard her accused of ripping off Earthsea.

Orphan who has to stop a once defeated but now returning dark lord, via destroying object(s) that contain his soul, with the help of a wizard and companions, all while evading the evil followers of the dark lord.

This is 90% of D&D games, though. Voldemort is a classic Lich with a twist. She could have written a first draft of this book in high school using the 2e TSR book.

It's so easy to claim she's plagiarized the material because the whole book is so comically generic.
