''[[The Legend of Rah and the Muggles]]'' is a children's book written and published by Nancy Stouffer (now referring to herself as "N.K. Stouffer" in obvious imitation of J.K. Rowling) in the mid-1980s. The book languished in obscurity until 1999, when Stouffer sued [[J. K. Rowling]] (author of the wildly popular ''[[Harry Potter]]'' book series) for intellectual property damages, claiming that Rowling had stolen elements from ''Rah'' and used them in the ''Potter'' books without permission, primarily the use of the word "muggles". The subsequent lawsuit was eventually laughed out of court, as Stouffer was unable to verify her claim that she originally trademarked the term.
Line 23 ⟶ 35:
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The [[Convenient Escape Boat|clamshell boats]] in Chapter 13.
* [[Developing Doomed Characters]]: The book's introduction drones on for 2,000 words of questionable relevance to the rest of the story — and so, for that matter, do the first two chapters. In fact, the story's major conflict (the [[Cain and Abel]] plot) isn't even hinted at until about halfway through.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: One of the Nevils is named Peter, but he insists on being called by his nickname "Chops".
* [[Encyclopedia Exposita]]: Rah's "Ancient Book of Tales", which includes a story about [[Killer Rabbit|Killer Rabbits]] that [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|might seem familiar]]...
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Zyn
