+203 Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Harry Potter series have a great number of similarities: The 4 nations= The 4 houses. The Fire Nation= Slytherin. The Fire Lord= Lord Voldemort. Azula= Bellatrix. Zuko=Snape. Aang= Harry. Katara and Sokka= Hermione and Ron. Dumbledore= Iroh. amirite?

Aang and Harry both have odd symbols are their heads.

Ron and Hermione aren't brother and sister. And Harry doesn't have a crush on Hermione.

And the Harry Potter movies don't suck

Cartoon was awesome

No disagreement there

I agree with everything except the "Katara and Sokka= Hermione and Ron" part. Ron and Hermione wind up married and since Katara and Sokka are brother and sister, that obviously doesn't happen. Aang and Katara wind up together at the end, so maybe Katara could be Ginny instead; that would make more sense. So Aang=Harry, Katara=Ginny, Sokka=Ron, and I have no idea who Hermione would be... I'd say "Suki" but she doesn't travel around with them and she isn't one of Aang's best friends, so then I'd say "Toph" but her and Sokka don't wind up together, so I'm not sure about that one yet, but I'll keep thinking about it. Also, OP, I assumed you were talking about the cartoon and not the movie, because, well, the movie sucked and I don't see why anyone would want to discuss it unless it was to discuss to what degree it sucked, but that clearly wasn't the case here, so if you WERE talking about the movie, I'm going to pretend it was the cartoon series you were referring to instead...

ALSO, Toph = Tonks, Iroh = Dumbledore, Zhao = Lucius,

by Anonymous 11 years ago

But Tonks winds up dead; Toph doesn't die at the end of the original A:TLA series, so how would that work, really? And anyway, Toph and Tonks aren't really similar personality-wise, or really in any other sense, so that wouldn't really work. Iroh and Dumbledore, though... Well could work, but it was already mentioned in the post, which is why I didn't mention it in my original comment.

Slytherin is the earth house. Not fire.

I think they mean like the antagonist.

So Azula's banging her dad?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

And Sokka's banging his sister apparently.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

actually the four houses in harry potter are based of of the "four elements" slytherin is water, ravenclaw is air, griffindore is fire and, hufflepuff is earth and just if you don't want to take my word for it:http://www.lelandra.com/tarotbook/harrypotterelements.htm just because the firelord and lord voldemort are both the antagonists doesn't mean that they are similar

I agree with alot of this. but Zuko is waaayyy hotter than Snape. and all the love triangles dont work out for either group. unless you made zuko ron, katara hermione, aang harry, toph ginny. then i would be totally okay with it :D But cannon-freaks aren't going to like that. :/

by Anonymous 12 years ago

wait wait wait Katara didn't have a thing for Zuko. Harry didn;t have a thing for Hermione Toph and Aang don't end up together... so Idon't see how you'd be okay with that love...square

Only Katara and Sokka don't marry each other under incest, Zuko and Iroh don't die, Harry actually marries Ginny, and Bellatrix isn't Voldemort's daughter or Snape's sister.

Oh I see, because they both have good characters and bad characters that makes them similar?

That comeback is absolutely horrible......

Dumbledore would be Avatar Roku rather than Iroh in my opinion. The relationship between Roku and Ozai is strickingly similar to that of Dumbledore and Grindelwald
