Harry Potter and the Stolen Plot? I don't think so.
True, there are many similarities. But J. K. Rowling borrowed from many stories, myths, and legends.. as did Tolkien. The plot of Harry Potter doesn't seem the same as the plot of Lord of the Rings to me. Sorry to break it to you, but a plot is a storyline, not characters and creatures. Dementors are not a plot. Wormtail is not a plot.
If you are one of those people who insists on finding something wrong with Harry Potter, do not look for it in this way.
