Or the Bible

Harry Potter Series

Harry Potter displays many Christ like attributes and has many Christlike happenings occur to him. While he was a boy he was attacked by Lord Voldemort leaving a scar on his forehead just as Jesus, as in the Jesus from the bible, had scars on his hands and feet from being attacked and crucified. At this occurrence Harry's parents die forcing him to live in very humble circumstances just as Christ did. Harry is often seen as the light of his world protecting both the wizard and muggle world from Voldemort who is considered darkness. The strongest and most obvious similarity between the two is the use of three days of rest or death. After defeating Voldemort Harry spends three days in coma just as Jesus spent three days dead in a tomb after being crucified. The bible reflects reality, always containing a fight between good and evil. When J.K. Rowling takes allusions from the bible and into Harry Potter she takes the fight between good and evil with her.
