I found a fascinating link about Harry Potter and the Scapegoat 
Archetype: http://www.mythandculture.com/cultural/harrypotter.html 
It talkes about other famous "scapegoats", including Jesus. A 
fascinating look at being "outside the camp", wounds, etc.!

Has anyone thought about the other Archetypes withink Harry Potter? 
Harry obviosly has Orphan Child, much like Dorothy in the Wizard of 
Oz and other fairy tales.

I think that's one of the reason the whole Harry Potter series is so 
appealing to so many age groups: J.K. has a good grasp on universal 
archetypal themes.

Thoughts?
