    Maybe someone has already expressed this viewpoint in some thread considering the animosity generated when a same subject comes up twice, but here goes nothing …

    I just got around to seeing Harry Potter. I thought it could have been shorter, but otherwise was extremely well done. It avoided the trap of dumbing itself down like what happened with the X-Files. Watching the movie however I felt some striking similarities between the film and Star Wars.

    1) Quidditch: Endor speederbike sequence with broomsticks

    2) Devil’s Snare: instantly thought of the Death Star trash compactor

    3) Mountain troll: the fight between him and the kids reminded me of the Rancor

    4) Professor Snape: his cape seemed to bear some resemblance to Darth Vader

    5) Music: some of the John Williams score sounded very similar to ANH’s Jawa theme

    6) The pairing of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry seemed similar to ANH’s Han, Leia, and Luke.

    7) And of course, parallels between Harry and Luke.
