 * Starting Points to Consider:**

__The Hero’s Journey (aka the Monomyth)__
 * I suggest starting with Joseph Campbell’s //A Hero With a Thousand Faces// and his 17 stages of the hero. Find 5-10 stages (more if you like) that are especially significant in the Harry Potter books and describe how Campbell’s stages are specifically used in Rowling’s books.


 * How does Harry fit into the hero’s journey, according to Campbell’s theory? How does Odysseus?


 * What are some other examples of the hero’s journey that are found in classic and contemporary literature, film, and so on? What motifs, stages, characters, settings, events, or symbols are found in Campbell’s writings that are still prevalent today?
