Tanya Grotter
Таня Гроттер (
Tanya Grotter) is the female protagonist of a
Russian series of books by Dmitri Yemetz (Дмитрий Емец). Yemetz describes the books as "a cultural reply" to the
Harry Potter series by
J. K. Rowling. However, Dutch courts prevented the distribution of a
Dutch translation of
Tanya Grotter and the Magic Double Bass in 2003 after Rowling and her publishers sued arguing that the Grotter books violate copyright law.
The books tell about Tanya's studies in the witch school of Tibidokhs. She's an orphan, has a strange mark on her face and has strange, supernatural powers.
