I think on this level there is really a connection between both stories, and on this level I think it is OK too.
Because JKR has created her own story, and these things are not much more than an "echo" of another great story. (I liked that word "echo" she used in an interview) | Ah, no trouble at all, what is the use of the Slytherin brilliance but for this? Simply put, JKR drew inspiration from Tolkien and LOTR which is the reason we see many parallels between the two. "Worm"tongue, for instance. The characters context is changed, but the overall idea, of the traitor who had been trusted, remains. There are many, many, more, and I will post them at such time my mind does not feel addled.  |
