Space and magic are two topics that are usually found on complete opposite sides of the spectrum. The Harry Potter series feature a young boy, Harry Potter, who is thrown into the magical school of Hogwarts to learn how to become a wizard and defeat Lord Voldemort. Star Wars is a movie series about a boy, Luke Skywalker, who holds the powers of the force and goes on several space adventures to destroy the Empire. On the surface these movies seem very different without much similarity at all; however, that could not be further from the truth. The two movie series Harry Potter and Star Wars are very similar for many reasons. Some of these reasons would be that they both have strong, male leads who hold the world’s destiny, a wise old man who …show more content…
Professor Dumbledore, the dean of Hogwarts, is an old man who helps Harry through many of the tasks that Harry has to accomplish to defeat Voldemort. For example, he took Harry to live with his aunt and uncle after his parents were killed, so Voldemort couldn’t find him and kill him. Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi master who trained Luke’s father, also is an old mean that helps Luke through his struggles to bring back balance to the force. For example, he also takes Luke to live with his aunt and uncle after his mother is killed. He does this in hopes that Darth Vader cannot find him and turn him to the dark side. Another example of how these old men help is that they guide the two main characters to the people who will train and enhance their powers. Dumbledore is the dean of Hogwarts and is responsible for Harry being there. Harry is put with very tough professors, hired by Dumbledore, who train him to be a great wizard. After Obi-wan Kenobi is killed he comes to Luke in a dream and tells him to go to the planet Dagobah to train with Master Yoda. Yoda shows Luke how to use the force and how to use it for good instead of
Stories today stories from thousands of years ago still have the same meaning and conflicts today. I will be comparing Antigone and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. I will compare the motives, outcomes, themes, and even myself to these two stories. The motives in Return of the Jedi and Antigone are very similar to each other.
Gilgamesh and Luke Skywalker are a lot alike, but also very different. When they faced their adventures they did not want to do it. Both have some very special abilities. But they have very different personalities.so they are different, but also the same When they are faced with their adventures they did not want to do it. Gilgamesh was faced with Humbaba he wanted to let him live, but Enkidu knew they had to kill him.
The first similarity is the characters. In the book and in the movie Percy, Grover, and Annabeth are the three that go on the quest together to find the lightning bolt. Sally is still Percy’s mom and “Smelly” Gabe is Percy’s step father. Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus are still “the big three gods” in the movie and the book as well.
While the similarities are smaller, like the considerate personalities shared between the main characters of both
A similarity is that they are both leaving for a place they don´t know. Katniss is going to The Hunger Games and she has never been there before. In The Goonies they are going to an old creepy restaurant that they have never seen before or been to. A difference between The Hunger Games and The Goonies is one parent knows that they are leaving for their adventure and leaving and the other doesn´t know. Katniss´s family knows she is leaving and going away for her adventure.
The origin of each series has a different story. Star Wars is a movie series said to belong to a subgenre of science fiction called “space opera” which was inspired by work like Beowulf , King
We can all learn a thing a two from our elders and can never stop learning. We are all grateful for the sacrifices my father and his father made. Children are treated very strictly by their parents. But aunts and uncles are much nicer to their nephews and nieces. I remember I was not allowed to hang out with certain kids if my mom saw them as the trouble maker types.
It’s easy to pin point the difference but in reality they share common themes which includes life lessons. Despite the difference in the years and the actors both the classic and sequel has common themes that can be applied to situations now in day. When we compare and contrast
Several differences and similarities will be discussed in this essay, such as how Star Wars is more about fighting evil and Star Trek is more about keeping the peace throughout the universe. Star Wars begins with a story setting that was revolutionary during its time with aliens, spaceships, and blasters. The characters deal with conflict with good versus evil. In the Star Wars trilogy, there is an underlying energy or "force" that brings one to either the light or dark side. The "Energy" relates to one choosing which path, good or evil.
Hitler and the white witch are similar while the Aryans and the dark army is similar. Because of Hitler, it allowed the white witch as a character to be included, allowing an antagonist to be made. Another example can be seen in the settings in both of the events. In World War 2, the whole period of 4 years can be considered as war with no freedom while the whole setting of Narnia can be considered as winter but never Christmas. Both of them were trapped inside a dark age for a period of time until light came.
The main character in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. A good characteristic he has is being selfless. This is a good characteristic to have because it can help a person in relationships with others, whether it’s platonic or romantic. This changes the outcome of the story because Harry ends up placing differently in a competition, it makes him worry about someone (provides dialogue), it also changes how people view him. Harry shows this when he’s talking to his godfather through letters.
In other instances a council of elders or elderly men
The film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was my first exposure to the creature known as the Cerberus. The animal was named “Fluffy” and depicted as a three-headed guard dog. Under the orders of school headmaster Albus Dumbledore, it watched over the trapdoor that eventually led to the titular Stone, an object with the ability to grant its user eternal life. The only way to “defeat” the Cerberus was to play music, lull it to sleep, and run away from it or dive into the trapdoor before it woke up. I initially believed that the animal was invented in the book of the same name that served as the basis for the film.
Have you ever seen Harry Potter? What about Percy Jackson? Both are very great and inspiring movies/books. I’m not going to compare and contrast the books/movies as a whole, but mainly focusing on two characters, Hermione Granger and Annabeth Chase. Have you ever wondered how they are different?
Lord of the Rings v.s. Harry Potter In the two book series, Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, and Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling, one theme or claim that these two series share, is to never give up. In the Lord of the Rings, the main character Frodo and a company of eight others travel to destroy the ring of power in the far away land of Mordor. In series, Harry Potter, the main character Harry Potter, and his friends go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry is doomed to battle the legendary dark wizard, Voldemort.
