Harry potter christmas?

Anyone else notice similarities between Harry Potter and Jesus?

HP was born and voldemort tried to kill him when he was a baby. Herod wanted Jesus killed and thus had all boys under the age of two in Bethlehem killed. Jesus's family fled from the area for their protection. HP's parents were killed and he was sent to live with his muggle relatives. The fate of the parents are a bit different, but the idea of a mere baby posing a threat to some great power, surviving murder attempts and through their survival bring hope to all people is similar. People rejoiced over the births of both.

Also, later on both are tested through trials with the evil one and arise victorious. Both had supporters and people who doubted them along their journey. HP was imperfect, prideful and often had to be bailed out by friends. Jesus was denied by his friends, crucified, suffered a very painful death, paid the price for humankinds sins and rose again after 3 days. Oh and HP was penned by a muggle from England named JK Rowling in volumes that get progressively lengthier. Jesus's birth is written about in Matthew and Mark in a couple chapters of the Bible and I can't imagine those two becoming incredibly wealthy for those writings. I didnt say they were identical... just similar in light of the current holiday.

Merry merry CHRISTmas to all!
