Dear fans of Star Wars and lovers of Harry Potterget ready for a thunderous revelation, a theory as bold as the discovery of a new galaxy: Harry Potter is, in fact, a bad copy of Star Wars where lightsabers were swapped for recycled wooden wands! It may seem like a crazy idea, but let’s look at the facts and reveal this cosmic conspiracy that was right under our noses.

1. Magic Swords and Magic Wands: A Coincidence?

In Star Wars we have the iconic lightsabers, while in Harry Potter, we have magic wands. Coincidence? No, my friend, this is clearly a case of “copy and paste” in the world of magic, but with a much lower budget and using reforested wood instead of cutting-edge technology!

2. Harry and Luke: Two Wrongful Orphans

Harry Potter It is Luke Skywalker they were both raised by uncles, far from their real parents, and their uncles tried to the maximum limit of their abilities so that they would never know the story of their real parents. What is more suspicious? Both were challenged by extraordinary destinies!

3. Strength and Magic: A Case of Cosmic Plagiarism

In Star Wars We have the “Strength“, is at Harry Potter we have the magic. In Harry Potter wizards use force, oops, they use magic to move objects and create protective bubbles. This scene doesn’t remind you Yoda or Obiwan moving giant objects in Star Wars? The similarity is so shocking that it can only be an attempt to cover up a cosmic theft!

4. The Ultimate Evil: Lord Voldemort and Lord Vader

In both sagas, we have two iconic villains: Lord Voldemort It is Lord Vader. Both are powerful and evil beings, who in their youth were good and were transformed by the “dark side of the force” and became magical monsters that threaten everyone, and they don’t stop there. They seek the destruction of the universe, and start over as supreme leaders. Does J.K. Rowling Did you really think you could fool us? Indeed, Lord Valdemort It is Lord Vader? They didn’t even have the creativity to change the villain’s name, didn’t they realize that the copy was too obvious? George Lucas You should sue the writer before it’s too late to save the universe.

5. Friendship and Brotherly Love: Hermione and Leia

Harry Potter It is Star Wars they also share the strange tendency to have the protagonist fall in love with a girl, only to later develop a sibling relationship. The protagonist, the friend and the girl, remembered Luke, Han Solo It is read? Hermione It is read they are clearly the same person with different names!

6. Elder Masters: Dumbledore and Yoda

Both universes (Star Wars and Harry Potter) have their wise mentors and more old: Dumbledore It is Yoda. They teach their pupils to control their powers, become much stronger and more powerful and, eventually, be able to face the ultimate evil. Coincidence? We doubt it, it seems too right to be just a script accident.

7. Inexperienced Protagonists: Harry and Luke Save the Day

Both Harry Potter It is Luke Skywalker, raised in the middle of nowhere by their uncles and apparently very young and inexperienced than their enemies, manage to overcome the evil being and save the universe. The cliché is so obvious it hurts! Oh Jesus, it was right there in our faces the whole time.

So, our theory is simple: J.K. Rowling actually watched Star Warshad a dream in which he replaced lightsabers with magic wands and decided to “write” Harry Potter! Or maybe, just maybe, these elements are universal archetypes in hero narratives, and the similarities are merely coincidental. But where’s the fun in logic when you can have a good conspiracy theory, right? Jokes aside, both sagas have their own unique charm, and the fantasy world is big enough for all of us!
