Only 16 submissions out of 100 o_O. Anyways, all you guys did wonderful on the short answer selection. I had fun reading some of your responses on what myths, legends, and fairy tales you thought related best to Harry Potter. I've decided to post a homework that I think is good, not to say that the rest aren't because they are, but simply for you all to see what I'm looking for.

So, for this month I've chosen Dom McDermott of Hufflepuff. I mainly chose Dom's because he used myth, legend and fairy tales that were either not used, or he presented a different viewpoint than everyone else (especially on "The Ugly Duckling"). *gives Dom a shiny gold star* Thank you for your lovely assignment Dom and I hope you don't mind me posting it! :)

Think of one Myth, one Legend, and two Fairy Tales that could relate to the Harry Potter series and explain why.

Myth: Cerberus - This three headed dog was the guardian of the underworld, and was very fierce...just like Hagrid's pet Fluffy, who guarded the entrance to where the Philosopher's stone was kept. Like Fluffy, Cerberus was partial to a bit of music, and was sedated by the song of Orpheus, just as Fluffy was lulled by the music played by Hagrid, Harry and Quirrell at various points.

Legend: Robin Hood - Robin Hood was a nobleman who was outlawed by the authorities but continued to defy them. The ministry of magic outlaws Sirius Black, who is of noble birth, but in the Order of the Phoenix, he continues to defy them. In both cases, the authorities believe they are working for the good, whether through misinformation or through deceit, but are proved otherwise in the end.

Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood - In the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, deception is used, with the villain (the wolf) pretending to be the grandmother, after eating her and taking her place. Voldemort posesses Professor Quirrell and in doing so manages to get close to Harry Potter, who he wants to kill, just as the wolf wanted to kill Little Red Riding Hood (though Voldemort probably didn't want to eat Harry...)

Fairy Tale: The Ugly Duckling - The Ugly Duckling is in many ways like Neville Longbottom. He sees himself as almost a squib, and says how his Gran is ashamed that he doesn't have the magical ability of his parents. Just as the Ugly Duckling turns out in the end to be a beautiful swan, Neville is gradually realising his talent, most notably through his determination and his hard work, and he is becoming less a squib and more a wizard all the time.

Until next month,
Mira

*shines gold star on his robes* nope, I don't mind you posting this :)
I'm glad that you found my work to be of a high enough standard to show, it was an enjoyable piece, even if it was difficult to find something a little more than the very obvious ones...
