Harry Potter--Copyright Infringment and Lackluster Technolgy/

So right now it's 10:53pm on Tuesday night and I'm stressing over my decision to use Harry Potter characters in my modern version of Aida. I can't distinguish between technology in the play and magic, or if they're the same thing. If I do have the characters use magic, I feel as though I'm not being creative because J.K. Rowling is the one who came up with all the magical goodness of the HP world that I'm using. The only controlled elements I'm using are how the movie/opera is displayed and the differences between the old story and the story made for Harry Potter and friends. I have 2 more days to work on this, but I don't know how I'm going to get enough information without telling the whole story of the opera. I'm tempted to start over, but I'm not one to give up easily and I feel like writing about Harry Potter is much more fun than writing about a religious cult, which was my other idea.

It's probably just because I'm so tired that I'm having more trouble with this than normally.
