Author's estate suing Scholastic over similarities to 'Goblet of Fire'
The estate of British author Adrian Jacobs that took on Bloomsbury in
2009 is now suing Scholastic claiming that "Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire" is "substantially similar" to Jacobs' 1987 book "The
Adventures of Willy the Wizard."
“The central theme of each work
-- a yearlong wizard contest -- unfolds as similar characters enact
parallel plot points,” according to the complaint.
