Ash Potter?
Did you ever notice it? How uncanny much Ash Ketchum and Harry
Potter has in common? Because they do.
I'll be pointing out what I have noticed here, but if you know
something more, mail me.
And if you never have read the Harry Potter books... well..
everything here is true...
#1- The looks
The first interesting thing is their looks. Ash has unruly black
hair, Harry's ditto. Their both sort of skinny, and both of them
have lightening shaped marks in their faces.
#2- The personalities
How often does Ash actually think before he does
something? About as often as Harry, I'd say. And both of them are
over-zealous little heroes as well... can you imagine one of them
doing something 'evil' on purpose? Well, that day it'll be
snowing badly a certain place.
#3 - The friends
Okay, what an argument, but I still find it sort of scary... of
all things, even their friends are similar!
Let's see. Ash has a female and a male friend, which would be the
smart, mature and brown-haired Brock and the hot-headed and
red-haired Misty. Harry has a female and a male friend, the
smart, mature and brown-haired Hermione and the hot-headed and
red-haired Misty.
I'm even gonna go as far as to point out the similarities between
Hermione's crush on Professor Lockman and Tracey's *cough*
'admiration' of Professor Oak...
Then there's always the interesting fact that Ron has a whole
bunch of siblings. Do I have to mention Brock?
#4- The foes
This is also funny... both of them have a life-and-dead rival,
namely Gary and Malfoy. I'll admit it might not be all that many
similarities between them as between their friends, but they both
had cheerleaders (or whatever you choose to call Crab and Goyle),
and they both are quit arrogant.
And to take a big step away from the reality and into the
fandom... there are lots and lots of palletshippers out there...
and lots and lots of Harry/Draco supporters as well.
We also have the 'good' rivals, Richie and Cedric Diggory, which
both were of the "let's fight and part as friends"
kind.
#5- The deeds
Yaah. Both of them are sort of "perfect yet not perfect at
all" heroes, and both have saved the world more than once.
Together with their friends. Both of them are almost on the top
(Ash in the pokèmon league, Harry as a Quidditch player) but are
set against their equally good rivals.
#6- The mentors
Ash and his addiction to the somewhat eccentric Professor Oak...
Harry and his best friend the old and seemingly halfway insane
Professor Dumbledore
Well, that was all I can come up with at the moment. And as said,
if you have anything more, mail me, and I'll put it up and praise
you.
