The Chosen One: Harry Potter, Buffy Summers, and the Hero’s Journey

Buffy Summers and Harry Potter, despite being entirely different at first glance (except for wielding only small pieces of wood against powerful supernatural beings), the two characters are similar archetypal heroes, who face similar narratives and are helped along the way by similar casts of friends and allies. As they walk the path of the hero’s journey, Buffy and Harry have some striking resemblances.
