I searched for a Harry Potter thread but I didn't find anything
Anyways, I just saw the latest Harry Potter movie last night (my financee is a big fan). Not that I have ever read the books, but it dawned on my last night that the story is similar to the X-men universe
- The bad guys in Harry Potter believe that the magically gifted are superior to muggles and seek to rule them all, in the X-men, the bad guy movement not only want to stop the persecution of mutants, but that they are superior to them and represent the next wave of human revolution
- 2 leaders that had a relationship at first, drift off to become enemies. Dumbledore vs Vortemort (Teacher-student), Professor X vs Magneto (friends in the beginning)
- A chosen one, Harry Potter vs Wolverine (in the movie version only)
- Both have special schools where young people are trained to harness their powers, Hogwarts vs School for the gifted
- Powers on a genetic level - magic blood vs genetic mutation
Anyways, this is mainly a random thought I wanted to share. Feel free to let die
