Summary It's been 17 years since I finished reading the Harry Potter books, and I'm only now noticing the genius way the series reflects in on itself. Over the last couple of months, I've spent a great deal of time looking at the parallels between Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it dawned on me that the connective tissue that fuzes the heart of both novels isn't exclusive.
2 The Harry Potter Books Perfectly Reflect One Another The Story Of Harry Potter Repeats In Reverse Order After Goblet Of Fire The Harry Potter books use a chiastic structure, so the concepts of the story are repeated in reverse order after its axis point. Since there are seven books in the series, the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, serves as the axis, with three books coming before and three after.
Philosopher's Stone Mirrors Deathly Hallows The First & Last Harry Potter Books Close There are countless differences between Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As the first and last installment in Harry's story, the protagonist himself has gone through many changes. However, there are also several ways in which these two stories are nearly identical. First and most important is the concept of immortality.
Chamber Of Secrets Mirrors Half-Blood Prince The Second & Second To Last Harry Potter Books Close Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were the first books that I noticed shared a great deal of common ground. The primary piece of connective tissue between them is Draco Malfoy, who, in both, is suspected of attempted murder.
Prisoner Of Azkaban Mirrors Order Of The Phoenix The Third & Third To Last Harry Potter Books Close The character who takes center stage in both Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is obviously Sirius Black and, by extension, James Potter. Harry learned the most about his father and his old Hogwarts friends in these two installments. However, there is a great deal of contrast here as well.
Goblet of Fire sees Voldemort use Harry's blood to resurrect his body, doubling the blood protection that Harry had learned about in Philosopher's Stone and that would save his life in Deathly Hallows. The fourth book is also when Lucius Malfoy is confirmed to be a Death Eater, establishing a link between Draco's story in Chamber of Secrets and Half-Blood Prince.
