Hey, TheThings fans! Welcome back to another video. Whos ready to head into both the Grishaverse and The Wizarding World. For fans of fantasy, this could be the video of your dreams! Netflixs show Shadow and Bone follows Alina Starkov who one day finds out she possesses the power to get rid of the darkness, also known as the fold, and reunite her entire country. However, while watching we couldnt help but notice how many similarities there were between our favorite Grisha and our favorite Wizards. We definitely understand why Ben Barnes once compared the series to the Harry Potter Franchise. Of course, both these stories are uniquely their own and are both such strong series, but we thought it would be fun to highlight everything we noticed that totally reminded us of Harry Potter. From similar character relationships, events in the plotline that are just too alike to be a coincidence, right down to the imagery of the stag and the darkness, theres no denying that Harry Potter totally could have been a source of inspiration for these creators. Even Harry and Alinas backstories are eerily similar. It also doesnt shock us to find out that when the show was meant to be a movie back in 2012, it was going to be produced by a Harry Potter producer. We dont know about you but this fantasy talk has gotten us wanting to plan a marathon of both stories. Did you find any other similarities between the Shadow and Bone and Harry Potter? Let us know in the comment section below

1-All young literature main characters are at least half orphans
2-Most young literature main characters are chosen ones
3-Harry Potter didn't invent stags, and they had been symbolic since antique times
4-Most special efects for darkness look like that
5-The villain lives is tale as old as time
6-Also a very frequent trope
7-Magic schools existed before Harry Potter, the worst witch anyone?
8-Hogwarts houses are personality traits, Grisha orders are based on abilities
9-Friendship is a theme in 99% of media directed as young people
10-All magic in media has rules
So this is a video based on the belief that fantasy was not invented until Harry Potter

These comparisons are so ridiculous that I was going to waste my time arguing against them but honestly it's not worth it. It's so tiring that people always try to compare everything to Harry Potter. All of this arguments presented in the video are elements of any fantasy story. Shadow and Bone has nothing to do with Harry Potter. I wonder how frustrating it must be for fantasy authors to constantly have their works compared to the iconic Harry Potter.

Ok heres the thing tho, the darkling is looking nothing like Voldemort. Absolute plot twist he tried to play the good guy and then uncovered his true self, while Voldemort well he made his presence of being the bad guy was so obvious. And the most noticeable difference is that the darkling has a nose, unlike voldie standing one the other side of the room

The only valid points in this video r the palace, the stag, and the grisha orders. The Chosen One is a common trope in Fantasy. HP didnt invent it. It also didnt invent friendship, a realised myths, manifestation of anything, orphans, etc. Do you know how tropes and literary traditions work?
reply

Most of fantasy YA books have these tropes. The chosen one, (Lord of the Rings, Percy Jackson ) as well as a place where they can be safe and the friendship bond between three characteres like in The Wheel of Time. And they normally are orphans like in the Name of the Wind etc.

Bruh I felt the same feeling when I watched the show from the very beginning. No wonder I felt a strong feeling of nostalgia and all those hand signs you might as well cal it naruto. And with all those elements you might as well cal it avatar the last sun bender

I feel like these commonalities are not so much copying as it is use of common fantasy conventions. Harry Potter did not invent these tropes and there are other fantasy stories with more substantial similarities.
reply

I want there to be 1 Harry Potter. Look, I dont really support shadow and bone, so no- (yesterday my family member said they dont know what the ring was, and it was the stone of the deathly hallows idk how to spell it )
reply

Harry Potter series is a legendary one. & if any series has any similarities with this iconic franchise, it might be true that the similar series (Shadow & Bone) is a great series.
reply

Shadow and Bone's debut season finale was full of surprises, but fans of Leigh Bardugo's novel on which it was based experienced an extra, unexpected twist.
