In this essay, I will use two separate parts to illustrate the relationship between this film and mythology. The first part is the hero's journey of Harry Potter, the protagonist of this film, and the second section is how the archetypes in the movie relating to each other. There are a bunch of movies and novels that fit into hero's journey, which is an idea from Joseph Campbell. In fact, every separate movie in J.K Rowling's series of Harry Potter followed a small hero's journey, and the whole series also followed a big hero's journey. But I will be focus on this particular movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in this essay. In the beginning of this movie, the author used three steps as herald to build up the call for hero's journey. First came Harry's dream of seeing the images of Lord Voldemort and his two servants, and that made Harry wonder what the dream meant. Following was the disaster in Quidditch World Cup, and of course Harry linked this massacre with his dream unconsciously. While these two calls were not strong enough to push Harry to his adventure. Thus here came the Triwizard …show more content…
They were also the ego and shadow in the entire Harry Potter series. First, we could focus on Harry, the ego. We can see that Harry absolutely had traits of hero--brave, clever, and full of sympathy. Whereas, he still had imperfect parts. For instance, his was a little brash that he would shout to his friend who misunderstood him. Sometimes he was too clinging to his own opinions that he didn't believe others word and leaving alone other's advice. Besides, he didn't manage the spell as well as Hermione or Cedric, not as wise and seasoned as Dumbledore, and even not as strong as Hagrid. But it was those shorts of Harry making him to go on his journey and to be a greater wizard, or a more complete

" The Disney film Hercules is one of the best examples of Joseph Campbell's monomyth. For instance step one of the hero's journey outline is the Ordinary world. Hercules was born the son to Zeus and Hero.

A hero’s journey consists of many mythological/archetypal characteristics--such as the characters, settings, situations, and outcomes. As unique as both stories are, The Lion King and Beowulf are great works of the hero’s journey following the mythological/archetypal path.

A hero's journey is a pattern of narrative identities that appears in many dramas, storytellings, myths, and psychological development. The journey consist of twelve different steps and in the story Beowulf we read about the magnificent and rough journey that Beowulf and this men accomplish. Many people question if Beowulf is considered a hero and if what he did was good. The journey that he embarked on, leads me to believe that Beowulf is a hero and always will be. The first step in the hero's journey is called the “call to adventure” this is when something is disturbed from external pressure of from inner conflict.
The Odyssey and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone are both examples of the hero's journey. Both Harry Potter and Odysseus leave home and their families for a long adventure, and they both have a supernatural aid who is a lot of help to the heroes in each of their journeys.

The hero’s journey describes the pattern of a story that is seen in myths, drama, fantasy and others. It includes specific archetypes that create that pattern . Without the majority of these archetypes, the story could not be defined as thus. Star Wars: A New Hope is a classic example of the hero’s journey.
Campbell’s hero's journey is a process which many stories follow. The movie Finding Nemo demonstrates Campbell’s hero’s journey in many ways. One of the main characters is Marlin, Nemo’s dad.

Mythologist, college professor, and author Joseph Campbell came up with the idea of the Hero’s Journey, which had a big impact of literature, and still does today. The Hero’s Journey consists of four main parts, with more ideas under each part. These four parts are Departure, Testing, Fulfillment, and Return. Each part is a key aspect of the Hero’s Journey.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban truly accentuates time and clocks, which is very fitting since Book 3 will presumably be recognized as the Harry Potter book with the time travel. The manipulation of time progresses the plot and many small mysteries were solved due to time turner appearance in story. The paper studies the plot progress because of manipulating time using a time turner and plot holes that aroused due to its appearance.

American mythologist Joseph Campbell analyses this storyline of the journey of an archetypical hero in his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” (Campbell, 1949), a work that has inspired many writers and artists. Classic examples of Campbell’s archetypical hero include ancient Greek myths such as that of the hero Odysseus, the story of Moses and Star Wars’ protagonist Luke Skywalker (cf. Colbert, 2008, 208).
While some are not very noticeable at all, his call to adventure, first threshold, and supreme ordeal are undeniably some of the most important parts of the film. Some of these stages are even very similar to other stories that follow the mythological pattern. In Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, directed by Chris Columbus, Harry must travel into the unknown world of Hogwarts as his first threshold, just as Cooper had to travel into the wormhole, not knowing if he would survive. Later on in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, directed by David Yates, Harry must find his hidden power that neither he nor anyone else knew about, similar to Cooper. This goes to show that these mythological stages exist in many different
