Harry Potter author JK Rowling has spoken of the pain of losing her mother to multiple sclerosis (MS) and her anger at what she sees is a lack of care for sufferers in Scotland.

The creator of Harry Potter tells how when she heard of her mother's death on New Year's Eve 1990, it was "the worst New Year ever, the worst day of my life so far".

Writing in The Sunday Herald, the patron of the MS Society Scotland said the pain of her mother's death was added to by what she claimed was the NHS's failure to provide care.

Author J. K. Rowling, whose Harry Potter books have sold more than 67 million copies, says she's no plagiarist, asserting in court papers that the boy wizard is "entirely the fruit of my own imagination".

Rowling is battling a federal copyright lawsuit in New York claiming her four Harry Potter books infringed on the work of Nancy Stouffer, a Pennsylvania woman who wrote about a boy named "Larry Potter" in the 1980s. Stouffer says Rowling lifted character names, including the "muggles", from her.

"I am deeply offended that my integrity and good character have been besmirched by the ludicrous allegations that I stole any part" of the books, Rowling said in response.

Scholastic Corporation, the US publisher of Harry Potter, published the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, (published in Australia as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) in 1998. Volume five will be released by next June.

Stouffer's lawyer, Tom McNamara, didn't return calls.

 

A judge refused in December, 2000, to dismiss the case, citing similarities between the works of the two authors. Now, in newly filed court papers, Rowling's lawyers say Stouffer fabricated key documents.

Rowling's books tell the story of Harry Potter, who at age 11 discovers he is a wizard and accepts an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he does battle with the evil Lord Voldemort. The books are credited with attracting legions of new readers.

from a Harry Potter Fan, comes the similarities, that some say are

Plagerism by Rowling:

 

 

Maybe we'll check the chart for same.

 

 

Quite honestly, it DOES appear rather suspiscious.

 

Larry Potter in 1987, then "Harry Potter" just came out of thin air??

 

 

 

Although Rowling's Neptune has no aspects that are harsh, there is the matter of her Neptune being in the 17th deg.of Scorpio....which is akin to the South Node (the worse being the 19th deg.)

 

I do not see any of the so-called, "Lying degrees" in her chart, (critical degrees being 2GEM,13Libra or 11AQU)

so I need to rule that out.......nor is Hades (5GEM) apparently here.

 

POF in the 2nd surely is potential for riches...in the money house, even with such aspects as the squares & opp.

Her South Node conj. her POf. - so it's a wonder, but she is very wealthy.....you'd think a harshly aspected POF, with the South Node, wouldn't produce such a very wealthy life.,but it has....

must be the tension produced for money (she contemplated suicide when struggling with 3 kids)

 

When her mother died she would have been 25.

Her 7th house cusp, (the age of 25 ) has no planets, however her Moon (Mother), is a part of a stellium, and as such is at 21 degrees

Virgo which squares her 22nd degree Jupier (8th house )....

During the time her mother died, she had transiting Moon conj. Atropos (cutting the ties that bind), over this natal Jupiter.

 

Tr.Moon was 28GEM and TR Atropos at 23GEM.over 8th house, effectively "triggering" the Moon square Jupiter in the house of death.

The moon with atropos.

 

Transiting Moira (4TAU) would have been within 2 degrees of  her natal D/C cusp (age 25 in her chart), hence, TR Moira here, did show the fate of the loss at that age for her.

 

 

 

 

Lost mother age 25 (per T. Mann), around the D/C cusp, the trigger for this age.

Note the Tr. moon & Atropos over her Jupiter in the 8th. and the Square of her natal moon to natal jupiter.(representing her mother)
