Harry Potter and Star Wars. - Neatorama

I think that Harry Potter is very very similar to "EnderÂ´s Game."

Guys it's called the Hero's Journey, Campbell wrote about it years and years ago -- Star Wars was in fact based on Campbell's synopsis of just about every hero legend.

When I was in 5th grade, we did something similar to this where we read The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and then watched Star Wars. The similarities were quite striking.
