The previous posts about similarities between Eragon-Star Wars and Chronicles of Ancient Darkness - Harry Potter got me thinking about other parallels in the fantasy genre. Some of these are really stretching it though.
Harry Potter vs Chronicles of Ancient Darkness
Besides the parallels already mentioned, there aren't any other obvious ones. However if you wanted to see parallels where there aren't any you might view Torak's friend Renn as an amalgam of Hermione and Ron - she's very clever and red-haired. Thankfully the third major protagonist is a wolf (and this is a young adult series) so there aren't any relationship complications like the Harry/Hermione, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny relationships that have the Harry Potter shippers (short for relationshippers) so inflamed.
Harry Potter - Enid Blyton's Malory Towers series
Both set in boarding schools. Enough said.
Harry Potter - Star Wars
Did anyone else notice that Dobby the house elf in Harry Potter uses Yoda-style grammar? And in the movies he also looks like Yoda's malnourished weakling cousin?
OK, I've got Harry Potter on my mind today, I'm not sure why. Will have to continue this topic later.
