Harry Potter - Star Wars? Did J.K. Rowling Cheat?

Have you ever heard of structuralism? almost every book (or movie) can be reduced to simple structure and therefore we can do this to most of the GREAT books and movies nowadays. What is really important is how somebody told the story not what story is about..... it's all the same today - you have a hero and a villian and a chick, and a book or a film (or a saga) later you have a happy end....plot line is the same, the quality of written or filmed work isn't....

The structure of Star Wars was not of Mr. Lucas' creation. He was inspired by Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," which discusses the structure of a typical hero's quest. You're accusing Ms. Rowling for copying Mr. Lucas, but I'm not hearing you accusing Mr. Lucas of copying Mr. Tolkien's "The Hobbit." For instance, Obi-Wan and Gandalf both fulfill the helpful old man role in their stories. Luke and Bilbo initially did not want to leave the comforts of home to embark on a journey. Etc, etc, etc.

HP and SW two wonderful movies an ever I see.

Who care? what you think, who care all similarities.

Enjoy both sagas, I love it.!!!
