 Re: Tolkien v Rowling
Well, the Horcrux-Ring correlation is the biggest and possibly most important one.
I still find that Giant, Man-Eating Spiders to be a bit more than coincidence, especially since both are actually named characters.
The others are a bit more of a stretch, however the Dementors and the Nazgul have quite a lot in common. Black robed, bodiless wraiths, that instill freezing fear with their very presence, that exude a force that sucks the life and strength of people, be it happiness or courage, drains hope, and are rather difficult to defeat or resist without iron will. |
