Five Harry Potter Characters Who Are REALLY Similar To a Real Life Person

JK Rowling's masterpieces, the Harry Potter series, are both hugely influential and heavily influenced. Many characters are inspired by myths or real people. And in other cases the brilliant characters inspired others. Or maybe it's just a complete coincidence. Who knows! Let's check out my top five characters who REALLY ARE just like someone in the real world.



1: Fenrir Greyback; Vlad the Impaler

I know what you're thinking. 'Oh Noah, don't you know the difference between a werewolf and a vampire.' Yes, I know Vlad inspired Count Dracula, while Fenrir is a werewolf, but despite the difference with the two creatures, and the fact that Vlad's vampire tales are likely highly fictionalized, the two blood-sucking humanoids shared many traits.

The two vile leaders commanded huge armies, acted mainly at night and, of course, had a taste for blood. They killed for fun, and both phsycos used some of the most treacherous methods to lead their armies to victory. The surprisingly intelligent madmen will go down as some of the most purely evil beings ever to walk the face of the earth in their respective universes.



2: Hermione Granger; Emma Watson

It is indeed a brilliant coincidence that the very same actress to play Hermione would go along with her to become a very similar human being. Emma and Hermione both evolved into a pretty young woman, but someone who was the complete opposite of a damsel in distress and 'til today hold there own perfectly well thank you very much.


Both were held back from their respective educations for some or other reason, but both went on to complete it, Hermione doing it without Ron or Harry and Emma without Rupert and Daniel. They both hide a good brain behind a pretty face and  are extremely involved in the rights of the oppressed, one representing House Elves, the other women (I think you can guess which is which).





3: Voldemort; Caligula

Truthfully, Voldemort is similar to many Roman kings and Emperors, but the maddest and most power-hungry was easily Caligula. Both were closest, some would say, to an animal who they seemed to communicate with (Nagini the snake and Incitatus the horse).


The two both despised their names, Voldemort's (Tom) a reminder of his Muggle father and Caligula's a childhood nickname meaning little boots. Most of all, both were evil, power-hungry phsycos, who were driven by a hate for their fathers, but, after a lot of devastation, were both brought to justice in the end because of their murderous wishes.





4: Albus Dumbledore; James Baldwin

These two kindly characters are each a hugely important figure in their respective worlds. Both faced extreme hardship from a young age, and both were gay, and as both lived most of their lives at a time where gayness was frowned upon, they found it harder to be noticed for good rather than bad and were often a bit lonely.


However, these proud men rose above all this and became world-renowned heroes. They both lived for a good amount of time and often acted against unfairness. The articulate and charming men will be remembered for hundreds of generations to come.





5: Colin and Dennis Creevey; You and Me!

Yip, it makes sense that Rowling, hopefully subconsciously or as a joke, modeled these two rabid Harry Potter fans after us rabid Harry Potter fans. We are sure an eager and overwhelming lot, and we could easily be the inspiration behind these unintentionally hilarious characters!





So that's it for today. Hope you liked it! Please subscribe to be updated when I post new wacky ideas and see you next time!-Noah

A Revised History of Ekrizdis, the Evilest Wizard Ever

Image
JK Rowling has written a few brief pieces about the evil Ekrizdis, but has barely scraped the surface of this loathsome character, and has left a lot shrouded by the mists of mystery. An intriguing character, Ekrizdis is the physical form of madness and evil, and today I will attempt to erase a few of the question marks surrounding this creepy character. Firstly, let's go over the little information we have  been given.  He was a Dark inventor who was born somewhere during the fifteenth century. He was traveling the North Sea for an unknown reason when he came across a tiny island, which was basically just a big rock jutting out of the sea. There was no life there, and he decided to become the island's first inhabitant.  After casting sufficient protection charms, he created a huge fortress, which eventually became Azkaban, and resumed his experiments on Muggle sailors who unintentionally passed through his territory. He created many Dark things, most notably Dementors, before

Real Survivor: The Fox, the Bear, the Goat and the Bunny

Survivor fans such as myself are mostly familiar with certain terminology. For example, to be purpled is to be placed in the complete background of a particular editing, to the extent where you are utilized like the shelter or water well, firmly in the background of a lot of scenes without being in the forefront barring something bad happening to you, like the shelter being blown over or the well being contaminated. Perhaps the first bit of terminology that has a unique meaning is to be a goat, or someone who is used like an extra vote by another player or group of players. However, where the name "Goat" actually came from is something many fans, even hardcore ones, do not know the answer to. They would point to where someone like Ethan Zohn said it in early seasons and credit it to them. The person who actually coined this term is SurvivorSucks user sunsawed, whose article can be found here . Basically, he stated that most Survivor final fours consist of four different playe

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 2

Image
To find out my criteria, etc. please check out Part 1. Please share my post with your friends and without further ado, let's head right in. Danny McCray - Brad Culpepper  I really think Danny is going to end up having been one of the underrated players on this cast. So many people (including me) anticipated a big strong oaf who would boss challenges but portray "the emotional range of a teaspoon" to quote Hermione Granger. This was something most also thought would be true of Brad Culpepper, but both seem emotionally and mentally intelligent as well as being huge Survivor fans, and I think Danny will likely play a game similar to Brad's Game Changers performance, especially if he can survive the first post-merge vote. Naseer Muttalif - Johnathan Penner  Why he was predicted for a first boot I do not know. This prediction is looking a bit more into the future, but I definitely see at least one flip coming from Naseer. I think he will turn out as a above-par player who
