Well, Film.com has compiled a few for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fantasy stories generally lift from the same mythological source bank. Actually, if you want to get super scholarly and esoteric about it, every story (especially the more sword-and-sorcery themed variety) is the same basic &#8220;hero&#8217;s journey&#8221; archetype detailed by Joseph Campbell. But fantasy stories &#8212; King Arthur,\u00a0<em>Lord of the Rings<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Chronicles of Narnia<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Willow<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Peter Pan<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Conan the Barbarian<\/em> &#8212; build their world out of the same objects. You have magicians, dragons, unicorns, gnomes, and elves popping up to do battle, and they&#8217;ve made their way from medieval tapestries and texts to our modern movie screens.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.film.com\/features\/story\/similarities-between-potter-lotr-universes\/42697985\" target=\"_blank\">Read on<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us Ringers know the comparisons of The Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter are many&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[197,153,35,5,495,148,149,152],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fans","category-tolkien-life","category-lotr-books","category-lotr-movies","category-miscellaneous","category-hobbit","category-lotr","category-tolkien"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-aBx","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40767\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
