Compare And Contrast Harry Potter And Star Wars

Harry Potter Vs. Luke Skywalker

Harry Potter and Star Wars were very popular series that showed real life lessons that most would relate to. In both movie franchises, Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker start out as ordinary humans who are thrown into a complex reality where they must fulfill their destinies. How will their different parental legacies affect them throughout? In the beginning of each franchise, we see them starting to evolve and shape into the characters seen further along in each of the movie series. We start to learn about each of their upbringings and are then able to compare and contrast. To compare the two, both characters lost their parents at a very young age. While Harry’s parents were murdered by Voldemore, Luke’s dad was kidnapped and killed. “Luke Skywalker: [turns off the lightsaber] How did my father die? Ben Kenobi: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."

We know Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter were destined to fight and destroy evil from a young age. Unfortunately, that never seized the temptations of wanting to join the dark sides. Neither of the characters gave in despite the temptation and continued to push forward. What's more Luke and Harry both triumphed over their dark forces, with Luke having the power to battle and Harry overcoming Voldermort numerous times."The world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." (J.K.Rowling) Without all these similarities said, Harry faced Voldemort at a younger age whilst Luke didn’t compete with Darth Vadar until later on in
