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. |
OK, agree that there characters is similar.
But there are many differences also.
We don't know anything about who the Dementors are, or where they come from. (I think someone is asking someone else about this, but without getting any answer - but I can't even remember in which book it was)
About the Nazgul we know all these things, they are clearly defined.
