Have anyone of you ever wondered about the similarities between the Harry Potter Series and the Lord of the Rings series? I have been wondering about this and now I am going to analyze the differences and the similarities between the two famous series. Hope y’all can help me point some out too if I didn’t comment about it in the post.
Frodo and Harry Potter :
Harry looks similar to Frodo. They both are what you would call an anti-hero. They are both heroes of the stories and look nothing like what a classic hero is suppose to look like. They both carry flaws. Harry's Flaw is his scar. Frodo's flaw is his hobbitness because being a hobbit makes them vulnerable to the ring. The ring gives out an aura of darkness and tempts you into wearing it and using it. Harry's obsession is the protection of his friends. This could also be a flaw for Harry because in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort used his friendship to trick him into going to the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. Their major difference is that they have very different personalities.
Gandalf and Albus Dumbledore:
They both look similar and have a major role in the main heroes life. They both symbolize the good in the series. They both have white beards, which I love so much because it gives off the stereotypical old men (ex. Santa Claus!!). They both are wizards and very powerful at that. Both of them believes in their heroes that they will accomplish whatever mission they are given.
Sam and Ron Weasley:
They both support the main characters. They are best friends to the main characters. Surprisingly, they both are extremely similar to each other'; other than the fact that they look nothing a like, but their personality and actions that help their friend out is similar.
Sauron and Voldemort:
All I can say about these two is that they are bad to the core. They both want to tempt the character into joining them or kill them off. You could say they are your typical villain that is in every story.

Wow that is pretty cool. Those charcters look alike too I never realized that. The teacher or master has the wise and aged looks where as the main character is a bit niave and the supporting characte, Sam and Ron, work out the flaws of the main characters in a way. But I honestly thought you was going to do who would win in a fight, hahaha!
