The young woman I was standing behind at the bus stop tonight had the Deathly Hallows logo tattooed on her harm.
What does Harry Potter represent? You can't replace a book-length narrative with a short phrase.
- lukan 1y agoWell, possibly I miss something, because I wouldn't recognize a Deathly Hallows logo if I see one. (I assume this is rather from the movies?). But there are occasional references to Harry Potter I have seen. Apart from that, I would say Harry Porter represents some things. The glass eyed bullied nerd, that steps into a magical realm to become a superhero. In general, the concept of a fantastic magical realm hidden besides this dull concrete reality. But those are old tropes I would think and unlike with Matrix(blue pill, red pill), Star Wars (may the force be with you, the dark side), Lord of the rings (The ring of power that corrupts), I don't see such strong concepts coming from Harry Porter that "supplies metaphors and narratives through which nearly everyone today interprets the world around them" Just my impression, I don't have a strong opinion here, rather curious what I might miss.
- kragen 1y agoIt's not the main thrust; it's the details. I think you're right that the Deathly Hallows logo was introduced by the films.
