Russian lawyers are reportedly planning to sue Warner Bros over allegations that are almost too funny to be true.

Nothing in the stories was original but I don’t think she stole anything. It’s not like someone owns the rights to witch, wizard, broomstick etc

Dobby who died a warriors death on a rescue mission was brave, loyal, caring, and honest! I would consider it an honor to be compared to some one, fictional or not, that was known for these qualities
