(Why would I be offended by what...No offense taken. (Why would I be offended by what you wrote? No internet crazies here.)<br />True, the Harry Potter similarities are slim. But, if anyone told you "boy wizard versus evil witches/magic users", most people will think Potter. Which is why I mentioned it - I bet there are tons of mention of Rowlings series when the reviews of this start coming out. Sure, I jumped the gun.
