There is a really neat discussion over at StarWars.com contrasting Star Wars and Harry Potter.
While i understand how you could draw comparisons….Luke the son of a dark lord and Harry with the dark lord…young kids..
It’s still a massive stretch
The Force isn’t magic…though it may seem magical. It’s all about midichlorians.
We find out about Luke’s DAD early on..and Luke’s only schooling is on Dagobah.
That said Harry Potter does have its place and I can certainly see why someone would want to show where Potter draws influences from Star Wars.
