GOOD VS EVIL

THERE ARE CLEAR LINES OF GOOD AND EVIL IN BOTH MOVIES. FOR EXAMPLE SAURON AND VOLDEMORT ARE BOTH THE EVIL RULERS.
6.

GOOD VS. EVIL CONTINUED

  • Orcs, goblins, and Nazguls make the evil army for Lord of the Rings
  • Death Eaters, Trolls and Giants made the evil army in Harry Potter
  • The main characters have a group of close friends
  • Both movies have explicit dark lords who rule the world
  • Bad characters wear black and good characters wear brown or other colors
7.

POWER

BOTH MOVIES HAVE AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL ITEM THAT WILL CHANGE THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE
8.

POWER CONTINUED

  • The Elder wand: in the right hands this wand could be a complete game changer in the Wizarding war
  • The Ring: Frodo was shown what would happen if Sauron got the Ring: The world would turn black.
  • Both of the protagonists had to prevent the evil warlord from getting this item

SACRIFICES FROM THE PROTAGONIST

BOTH HARRY AND FRODO HAD TO GO TO EXTREME MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR WORLD

VIOLENCE

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LACK OF VIOLENCE IN HARRY POTTER THAT IS PRESENT IN LORD OF THE RINGS
17.

VIOLENCE

  • While there are some deaths in Harry Potter, the violence is lighter
  • Lord of the Rings has lots of violence in order to portray the war aspect.
18.

WHERE IS GOD?

19.

Where is God?

  • There is an established God character: Harry Potter and Gandalf the White
  • Some may argue that there are several Godly characters such as Aragorn and Dumbledore
  • Harry and Gandalf die and resurrect which is clearly an allegory for Jesus' sacrifice
  • The consequences of evil actions are seen immediately and dealt with thoroughly
  • Good prevails. This may seem irrelevant but God does plan on winning the war against evil
20.

Where is God?

  • Both of the movies have heavy undertones involving the beauty of nature
  • Both movies deal with the pros and cons of immortality
  • Both movies have a fellowship that symbolizes the church
