The Arthurian legends, particularly the stories of the Round Table
and the Holy Grail, have been a significant source of inspiration for
many literary works throughout history. This paper presents an
analysis of the elements of the Arthurian period that are evident to
some extent in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, along with the
literature and period that inspired the author. A comparison has been
made between the legends of King Arthur and J.K. Rowling's books,
mostly those found in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur. The
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling clearly shows evidence of being
heavily influenced by the Arthurian period. There are similarities
between the character Harry Potter and King Arthur, as well as Albus
Dumbledor and the wizard Merlin. Additionally, the use of magical
objects such as the Horrocruxes and the Sword of Gryffindor is
reminiscent of the magical items found in the Arthurian legends. This
paper provides valuable information for further analyses and can
serve as a guide for those interested in exploring the different
adaptations of the mediaeval and Arthurian periods in contemporary
literature. [-]
