After several times reading Harry Potter books and watching a movie, The Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, I have found some of the hidden similarities between the two most popular personalities in the Harry Potter series i.e. Mr. Potter himself and Lord Voldemort.
1. Applicability As Slytherin:-
Slytherin is a cunning, resourceful, ambitious, and pure-blooded wizard, that is the reason sorting hat decide Harry Potter be a part of Slytherin but at his request, he was sorted to Gryffindor. All of us know that why he want himself away from Slytherin because Lord Voldemort belongs to it. On the contrary, Potter is more skillful than Tom Riddle in the Harry Potter movies.
2. Language of Snakes:-
Like Voldemort, Potter can also speak the language of snakes. He was shocked at the time when he communicate with the snake in their language; at the time when Professor Gilderoy Lockhart was conducting training and Harry’s wands secured all the students from the monster of the Chamber of Secret. Later he use this language to open the door of the chamber of secret and solve the secret behind it. He stopped Tom Riddle (Lord Marvolo Voldemort) by destroying his diary which contains 50-year records from history.
3. Breaking Rules of Hogwarts:-
Another similarity that was discussed in Jk Rowling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is that; Voldemort was also more curious about new adventures and for that purpose he several times broke the school rules. Harry Potter follows identical action in every episode of the series to make the Potter world, but there is a huge difference between them that Harry Potter spells & work for a positive approach while Voldemort is the Lord of negativity.
4. Power to control Wizards:-
Both the personalities are powerful physically and naturally to control the wizards. They have the confidence and courage to deal with difficult situations. But due to the evil nature of Voldemort, he walks on the wrong path and wants to take over the power and ownership of wizardry to make his own kingdom. He wants witches and wizards to obey him and live under his slavery. While Harry, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley work for the welfare of Hogwarts, witches, and wizards. It is pertinent to mention here that Harry has immense power to control everything like Voldemort.
5. Acceptance of Voldemort Power:-
Another shocking finding was that while killing the parents of Harry Potter, Voldemort gave him a mark on his head. Due to this mark, he, unfortunately, transferred some of his power into Potter which was later disclosed by Prof. Albus Dumbledore in the Chamber of Secrets.
6. Fear & Enthusiasm:-
Voldemort found increasing fear inside him therefore he made a situation to meet with Harry. Voldemort discourages, fight and pressurize him to either join his team or die but he never succeeds in his task. He creates hurdles in Harry’s path to stop him in every new HP movie but he fails to cease Harry Potter fanfiction on time. At last, he has to lose his dreams to take over control of the world and all his powers & research will be vanished forever.
7. Power to control/kill Snake:
Both have the ability to deal with snakes as we saw in the chamber, the only difference is that Voldemort used a snake to kill Harry Potter and destroy the wizards of Hogwarts, while Harry killed a snake to save Ginny from the custody of Tom Riddle. It is pertinent to mention here that Harry can’t alone kill the snake, it was Prof. Dumbledore who sent Fawkes to Harry with a sorting cap along with Sword of Griffindor in it to use it against the snake and save themselves.
We know that all the similarities we discussed above are well observed by yourself and already gather your interest towards the Harry Potter Merchandises and accumulate into your collection from the Harry Potter store. There are a lot more pros and cons about Harry Potter characters which we will discuss in our upcoming articles.
