Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has accused a Russian writer of copying her work and asked a Dutch court to block publication of one of his books in the Netherlands, her lawyer told the Reuters news service. Rowling has asked an Amsterdam court to prevent the publication of the first Western edition of The Magic Double Bass by Dmitry Yemets, which her lawyer says copies her hit book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (which appeared as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), the news service reported.

The Russian book features a girl called Tanya Grotter. Potter and Grotter have much in common: Both are orphans, have strange marks on their faces, wield magical powers and battle an enemy too terrible to be named, Reuters reported.

Yemets' Dutch publisher Byblos said his work was not a copy of Rowling's work, but a response to the hype surrounding the boy wizard."
