Okay, so I was recently skimming my ratty old copy of
Les Miserables, and I kept noticing similarities with
HP.  Not in a "Hey, JKR is ripping off Hugo" sort of
way, but in the "Hmm, check out the common themes and
archetypes" sort of way.  


ME:
I've done this a LOT lately. Seems that nearly
everything I watch or read resonates with Harry
Potter: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beowulf, Time
Bandits, Spirited Away (a GREAT film, by the way), A
Chinese Ghost Story, The Once and Future King, hell,
even episodes of Futurama have sparked HP comparisons
with me.
I'd like to think that there are commonly used ideas
of story structure, or maybe some archetypal 'hero's
journey' mythology cropping up again and again, but
it's probably just me losing what little is left of my
sanity!
