 * = **Perseus embarks on a long journey to fulfill a quest. In all 7 books Harry mus journey somewhere unknown. For example the portal he enters during the tri-wizard tournament is dscribed much like the lair of the Gogon and the Medussa. Both worlds contain dark and unsavory characters. ** =
 * = **Like Harry, Perseus invites trouble into his life. Like Harry, Perseus' anger forces him to protect the weaker loved one, his mother. In all 7 book Harry is seen standing up for he week and helpig the defenseless. Admittedly it is Harry's mother who ends up protecting him from the evil curse. ** =
 * = **In every book someone has to help Harry on his quest. In the myth of Perseus he is helped first by his enemies (the Graeae sisters) and by a friend,the kind nymphs. In Harry Potter Flur is a nymph, who unltimately vows her help to Harry who bravely saves her sister in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. ** =
