: Re: Is my book legal? Is my story too similiar to Harry Potter I have been creating a story in my mind from early childhood. Now, I am very talented in writing, so I decided to give it a try

Nikola, you can write any story you like, and copy any characters you like - there's no law against writing. The issue is what you want to do with your finished story.

If you are writing purely for personal pleasure and you have no intention of publishing your story, then there's no problem. Show it to your family and friends; add sequels; enjoy the delight in creative writing!

As Galastel's answer notes, an alternative might be to publish it as fanfic, but be aware this isn't a free-for-all: you can still find yourself in a legal dispute if what you publish materially impacts on the copyright holder's interests. For example, I'd expect Rowling's lawyers to take immediate action if you published a story that portrays Hagrid as a paedophile.
