well... not really. J.K. Rowling came up with almost the entire plot for Harry Potter on her own. but you do have a point. the IDEA of wizards is centuries old. so technically she did have some basis in other literature
No, what he means is you are influenced by everything. J.K. Rowling was influenced by the idea of magic by text. Her idea to use a teen in school cames from study's and TEXT of others. Every writing is influenced by someother text.
