King Arthur legendaria and Harry Potter

Many folks have an interest in King Arthur. I have been struck at times by the apparent influence of the Arthurian elements in the HP series. Particularly the SWORD IN THE STONE motif, the orphan status motif, the wise owl motif, and the adversity elements.

If interest is adequate, I am sure that other Mooters know much more about this and can expose other items of influence and correlation. Then we can perhaps speculate on the ending of HP in that mode.
