History Trivia / TheLegendOfRahAndTheMuggles

* ReclusiveArtist: Aside from Stouffer's whereabouts (according to her website's FAQ, she lived somewhere in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, later moving to Mechanicsburg), any attempt to contact her has resulted fruitless. This is understandable, as enraged Harry Potter fans flooded her website with death threats after the lawsuit debacle.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Less than a thousand copies of the book exist (although Stouffer claimed that [[BlatantLies it sold out 150,000 copies in three weeks]]), and getting your hands on one of the 2001-printed copies is quite hard, although unauthorized and/or used copies are available on Amazon and Ebay. [[BileFascination If you want to buy the original 1984 version]], however, good luck with that.

* StreisandEffect: Nobody would have known about the book if Stouffer hadn't tried to sue Creator/JKRowling. [[note]] Although that was likely her intention. [[/note]]

* StillbornFranchise: Stouffer claimed that she had written a whole series of books about the Muggles, as well as a screenplay for a planned animated film. There is no trace of them or proof of their existance anywhere, not even on the Internet.

** While the titles of several other novels by N.K. Stouffer have floated around on the internet (namely: ''Silver Linings'', ''The Sovereign State of Troposonia'', ''The Myn'', ''The Land of the Nother-One'' and ''The Fat Frog''), because of their extremely limited print run and lack of distribution, there is no feasible way to purchase any of these books.

* StillbornFranchise: Stouffer claimed that she had written a whole series of books about the Muggles, as well as a screenplay for a planned animated film. Not a single specimen of such material has been witnessed by anyone, nor did they sit in one shelf, and there is no trace of them on the Internet.

* ColbertBump: One of the rare case where ''the author'' bumps its own work, but for all the wrong reasons.

* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: Stouffer released a list of elements that Rowling allegedly plagiarized from her books. 90% of them are generic stuff you could find in any fantasy story.
** In the book itself, there is a page with a trademark notice for the terms she coined. They are: "Muggle, Muggles, Muggle-Bye, Muggledome, Muggleplication, Shadow Monsters, Nevil, Nevils, Nardles, Greeblies, Nadie (sic) and Neddie Spooners of the Deep, Winkle, Elders, Zyn, Rah"; all of them were trademarked ''after'' she sued Rowling.
* FrivolousLawsuit: Pretty much the only reason anyone has ever heard of the book, if at all. Stouffer claimed that the Harry Potter books plagiarized numerous elements from this book and other books of hers (namely ''Larry Potter and his friend Lilly'' and ''Rah and Myn''). Her lawsuit was laughed out of court as she presented obviously fabricated evidence (for example, a word that was retroactively added in the original manuscript [[EpicFail not only in a different font, but]] [[FontAnachronism said font wasn't invented until much after the book was originally published!]]), claimed that J.K. Rowling could get access to her material when in fact she couldn't (Stouffer never published outside of the United States), and showed [[CriticalResearchFailure utter lack of knowledge]] [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer about the franchise she was attacking]].
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Sometime after the lawsuit debacle, it was translated in Czech language by publisher Adonai. So far, it's the only known translation of the book.
