 * Starting Points to Consider:**
 * Who is King Arthur? How are King Arthur and Harry alike? What elements, motifs, objects, creatures, themes, settings, events, or symbols in stories of King Arthur are similar to Harry’s?


 * How did King Arthur and Harry have similar upbringings, personalities, adversaries, challenges, tasks?


 * What Arthurian secondary characters are similar to secondary characters in the Harry Potter books? (For starters, think Dumbledore and Merlin.)

> > > __ > King Arthur and Harry Potter are alike in many ways > One, both Harry and Arthur are seen as heroes to their people. > Two, Arthur was given to Merlin in the legend and in turn Merlin had Arthur brought up by different parents. Harry was given to the Dursleys by Albus Dumbledore after his parents were killed. In this way both these characters didn't know what their true identity in their world was, Arthur to be king and Harry to vanquish Voldemort.
 * What is medieval romance? How does it differ from other love stories? Who in the Harry Potter books has a typically medieval romance? What is courtly love and who in the HP series experiences it?
 * Both King Arthur and Harry Potter defeated their enemies in the end.
