		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.
		Rowling claims she had not read Stouffer's work before completing her 1995 manuscript, in which people without magical power were also called muggles.
