re Severina. As far as non English people not being in her movies? They are British characters. Plus if you are so disparaging of her work, perhaps it’s a good thing you were not allowed to work on set.

4 words? wow. I must be sure that when I write my next article that I do not use a word another author has used.

As far as reports that her ideas were taken from other series, other books use the same historical subject matter as Rowling. For example, The Alchemist rewrites Nicolas Flamel’s history etc, and he features in HP and the Philosopher’s Stone. Perhaps this too is plagiarism?

Grow up people. There is a reason why it is popular. It is well written.

Perhaps Vander Ark should have requested permission before writing the work, as all writers of lexicology should.

Also, given the frequency of fans stalking and harrassing their idols, I’m not at all surprised by her shielding herself. She is not the only writer who wishes to be left alone. Consider Harper Lee.
