If you start to hate HP and JKR because she used old mythology, Greek and some old ghost stories and such, then you have to put Tolkien down just to be fair. They both were inspired by legend and history, and JKR was probably also inspired by JRRT.

What I am trying to say is before you cast the first stone, do your homework. It is not a nice thing to say that someone is a plagiarist. If you don't like it like I don't like Romance or most mystery, I am not talking to you. But those who are flaming JKR should rethink and read her books, and then do some research and then if the evidence points to plagiarism, go for it. But from the spot where I sit, having read all the books, I see nothing to be upset about.

And yes Bogarts are evil little fairies. All fairies are according to my Field guide to Irish fairies.
