> if a one page description could equally well be used to describe both works lots of disney animations could've been described this way. And it's because they took storylines from well known folk tales and adapted it. the idea of a teen wizard/witch going to a special school, fighting a villain, etc, doesn't seem to be copyrightable. While the russian ripoff version seems very similar and skirt the line between a copy and an original work, there's plenty of room where such a story could've been told and not be an infringement.
