Celtic myth vs. Harry Potter

[Phoenixashes]

Celtic Mythological history has a tale between the Gods Lugh and Balor. The story is all too similar to Harry vs. Voldemort. I will let you research the story yourselves, but I would like to know if you think there is a corillation between the two stories? If so, then does it give us any insight as to how the HP books will end. When you are doing your research keep in mind that Harry's B-day is the 31st of July! Happy Hunting

Well....so far I see that's it's similar because of a prophecy made...even though voldemort and harry have no relationship like balor was the grandfather of lugh. Also Lugh escaped when balor tried to kill him, like Harry escaped. I guess according to the story if the same thing happened in Harry Potter Balor would die instantly because of something I don't understand....

[Dark Lillian]

sorry, i mean voldemort would die instantly, not balor (the last sentence)

The reason why Harry's b-day is on the 31st of July is because that's when J.K Rowling's is.

there are also a lot of similarities between HP and lots of others books. tolkien for example. also could harry and V have a closer relationship? sure there has been hints along the way.
