What should I get him for his birthday?
Q. He's turning 16 and we've been dating for almost 10 months now. I have zero ideas and I want it to be special.
A. Depends on your budget and what he likes. Here are some options off the top of my head:
- Cologne (if you know what he likes or what you like on him)
- Shoes (if he likes DC's or something in that price category)
- Video games
- Sports Gear (if he has a favorite team)
- Hobby gift (like art stuff if he draws or music books if he plays)
- Ipod Dock (or Ipod if he doesn't have one)
Another idea, if you're low on cash, you can just give him some hand-made (or computer printed) freebie coupons that he can use on YOU, i.e., one free back rub, one free three minute kiss, one free... you get the point, and just tell him he can cash them in when ever he wants ;)

Did Harry Potter copy anything before its time?
Q. Like was there any movies or stories or anything at all from the past that remind you of Harry Potter? I just have always thought about this but i never got around to asking this question.
Also do you think Jk rowling will write more books and they will be made into movies.

A. "Eva Ibbotson's The Secret of Platform 13 (first published in 1994) features a gateway to a magical world located on an underground railway platform. The protagonist belongs to the magical world but is raised in our world by a rich family who neglect him and treat him as a servant, while their fat and unpleasant biological son is pampered and spoiled. Amanda Craig is a journalist who has written about the similarities: "Ibbotson would seem to have at least as good a case for claiming plagiarism as the American author currently suing J. K. Rowling [i. e Nancy Stouffer], but unlike her, Ibbotson says she would 'like to shake her by the hand. I think we all borrow from each other as writers."
"In 1991, the author Jane Yolen released a book called Wizard's Hall, to which the Harry Potter series bears a resemblance. The main protagonist, Henry (also called Thornmallow), is a young boy who joins a magical school for young wizards.[72] At the school "he must fulfill an ancient prophecy and help overthrow a powerful, evil wizard."[73] Yolen has been very critical of Rowling's work, and has stated publicly that she believes Rowling stole her ideas. In an interview with the magazine Newsweek, Yolen said, "I always tell people that if Ms. Rowling would like to cut me a very large cheque, I would cash it." "
"Groosham Grange (first published in 1988), a novel by best-selling British author Anthony Horowitz has been cited for its similarities with Harry Potter; the plot revolves around David Eliot, a young teenager mistreated by his parents who receive an unexpected call from an isolated boarding school, Groosham Grange, which reveals itself as a school for wizards and witches. Both books feature a teacher who is a ghost, a werewolf character named after the French word for "wolf" (Lupin/Leloup), and passage to the school via railway train.[67] Horowitz, however, while acknowledging the similarities, just thanked Rowling for her contribution to the development of the young adult fiction in the UK"
"Fans of the comic book series The Books of Magic, by Neil Gaiman (first published in 1990 by DC Comics) have cited similarities to the Harry Potter story. These include a dark-haired English boy with glasses, named Timothy Hunter, who on his twelfth birthday discovers his potential as the most powerful wizard of the age upon being approached by magic-wielding individuals, the first of whom makes him a gift of a pet owl. Similarities led the British tabloid paper the Daily Mirror to claim Gaiman had made accusations of plagiarism against Rowling, which he went on the record denying, saying the similarities were either coincidence, or drawn from the same fantasy archetypes. "I thought we were both just stealing from T.H. White", he said in an interview, "very straightforward."[69] Dylan Horrocks, writer of the Books of Magic spin-off Hunter: The Age of Magic, has said they should be considered as similar works in the same genre and that both have parallels with earlier schoolboy wizards, like the 2000 AD character Luke Kirby"
