If one has read the Harry Potter series, you might question how he is like Frankenstein.In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone we see him as a mere boy of 11, entering the wizarding world clueless and unloved by those around him. To the Muggle, or non magic people around him, Harry Potter was considered an abomination. Like Frankenstein, he was unloved and misunderstood by those around him, who did not realize being different did not automatically mean he was stupid. Harry entered the wizarding world, and learned everything about himself and those around him. In Frankenstein, we see the same occur. Frankenstein must find a barn to hide in, but he takes the time to learn from the poor villagers how to act, speak and learn their ways. They both mature to find their proper place in the world. Through their differences, they turn from being abominations, to being the heroes, the ones the viewer sympathizes with.
