Lazy plagiarist #1: Jim Butcher's Dresden Universe

>While the majority Butchers other works provide original mythology and world building The Dresden files has benefited from none of these things. He not only wholesale copied Fae, Norse, Greek, Mayan, Transylvanian mythologies but also co-opted the judeo-christian struggle of good and evil into the mix. Further he sets the protagonists struggles in contemporary Chicago.

Lazy plagiarist #2: J.K Rowling Harry Potter Universe

>To say that all of the Harry Potter universe is unoriginal would be a lie. The characterization and lore behind her Wizards are unique in their own right however the rest of the worlds magical creatures are anything but. Each and every one has been appropriated from one well known fairy tale or another with little to no discernible change from their origin.
