Despite the books wrapping up more than   two tenner ago , the globe ofHarry Potteris still as popular as ever . by and by this year , the picture gameHogwarts Legacyis arrange to bring out . Fellow 2000s   series and anime hitNarutois also see continuations with itsBorutosequel series . Both of these continuations have seen criticism , but rooter still love them .

This is n’t the only similarity to be found betweenHarry PotterandNaruto . These two franchises were democratic around the same clock time and had a lot in vulgar . It might be odd to think of British lit and Japanese manga give birth similar stem , but these two heroes and their world have more in coarse than one would expect for ninjas and wizard .

Started In 1997

While these dealership were most pop in the ' 00s , they both started in the ' 90s . Not only that , but they actually both first relinquish the same year . However , these original installments both took different forms than their notable versions . Famously , the 1997Harry Potterwas called " Philosopher ’s Stone " before being changed to " Sorceror ’s Stone " abroad .

Naruto ’s first expedition definitely had more of a drastic alteration . This 1997 release by Masashi Kishimoto is actually a one - off manga . It features a tidy sum of the same idea and the same title as the previous series but has several difference . Most notably , ninja element were completely absent and Naruto could turn into a George Fox .

Snake-Themed Villains

BothHarry PotterandNarutohave some fan - favorite baddie . Voldemort   is the series ' main resister ,   and one of the most   iconic villains in popular civilization . Orochimaru is not the independent villain but due to his protrusion , he is one of the series ' most memorable . As a result , these two ophidian scoundrel have a band in plebeian .

Besides their obvious snake themes , they ’re both haunt with immortality . They both even slip the soundbox and manipulate their own person for reach it . In schooling , they were both imagine of as prodigies . In the death , though , Orochimaru managed to come through while Voldemort did not .

Orphans With Terrible Childhoods

Naruto became an orphan when he lose his parent at a young age , and feel shun by all the children around him .   fan of the series think of the iconic vacillation from the anime , which served as a symbol of his solitariness . Harry was also an orphan and had a very similar puerility .

Naruto had nobody looking after him as a child . Harry , on the other hand , was   put in   the care of his abusive aunt and uncle . His family was savage and inhibitory toward him and interdict him from sustain any friends . This means both heroes grew up long for friendly relationship .

Soul Fragments

Both Naruto and Harry Potter survive attack on them as a baby . This marked them , which is part of the cause they were avoided as children . They actually both contain the soulfulness of the attacker within them . Considering these were monsters , it makes signified why others would subconsciously avoid their marker .

Harry ’s marking is his famous lightning deadbolt mark on his forehead from being assail by Voldemort . It ’s discover that Harry contains a piece of Voldemort ’s mortal as his final Horcrux at the end of the tale . Naruto ’s scars are similar , as they ’re remnants of Kurama , the Charles James Fox demon sealed within him . Unlike Harry though , Naruto eventually comes to peace treaty with the being inside him .

Sacrificial Parents

During the attack that pin down other individual are them is when these two sub ' parent give-up the ghost . Both had parents who were far-famed . Lily and James Potter   had a   loving relationshipand seemed to be adore by Hogwarts ' highest accolades . Kushina and Minato were exchangeable to the Potters as the rule couplet of Konoha .

The mothers both had ruby-red whisker and were known for being more brave . These two couple also left a bequest among the adult in Naruto and Harry ’s life , even if others would be neglectful to partake in it . They died protecting their children at the end of the 24-hour interval , showing both couples go beyond their maternal duties .

Double Agents

Slytherin and the Akatsuki might have been nefarious , but some members actually had   desperate intentions . Itachi was introduced as a scoundrel but was revealed to be good all along . likewise , while seeming a traitor , Harry Potter ’s Snape was also a champion .

Both of these characters joined their various enfranchisement ’s villain groups ( Akatsuki and the Death Eaters ) as duple agents . Snape and Itachi even killed and mistreated those they screw to make it work . In the close , though , they both sacrificed themselves to give their young Hero of Alexandria a step toward the future . The only real deviation is Itachi had his own family , freestanding from Naruto ’s .

Magic School

Both Harry and Naruto go to school that teach them how to use magic . While ninjutsu is n’t explicitly described as magic , it has a lot of similarities to Naruto ’s spells . Both protagonists also foregather two other admirer at this school day and they form a trio .

Additionally , both school day infix a long ton of special side characters in the form of other students . Some , like Neji and Neville , become very authoritative later . Also , while Hiruzen does n’t directly start the Ninja Academy , he has a lot of similarity with Hogwarts ' leader Dumbledore . Both are old leaders with a joining to the protagonist and baddie ’s past tense .

Protagonist Marries Outside Trio

Considering both trios are composed of two boy and one miss , a love trilateral would be expected . While both protagonists have been ship teased with the   distaff character at some level , this is not what end up bechance . Sakura and Hermione are simply just not compatible with Harry and Naruto , and the latter really feel love in a less require place .

Side type Hinata and Ginny were both shy and rarely spoke to the protagonist . However , they both had strong feelings   for their respective protagonists as well . Their affection is jazz to the viewer but seems initially unknown to the protagonist . Both of the heroes finally do notice and end up marrying them .

Remaining Trio Marries

While some fansdislike the relationship between Sakura and Sasukeand Ron and Hermione , these couples are still popular among others .

Ron and Sasuke do n’t really have a lot in unwashed unless   the fan theory ofRon being a Death Eateris consider . Hermione and Sakura , though , were both characterized by conclusion and fierce studying ahead of time on in the show . They both gave explanations for how the charming systems work on . These two couple together might not have been unanimously have a go at it , but they ’re definitely like .

Endings

The hero with inherited magical business leader is prophesized and destined to save the world . He concisely dies during the final fight with their scoundrel when they are seventeen years old . Then , as an grownup after a fourth dimension omission , they have small fry of their own . They ’re station them to their sure-enough magic schooling now that they ’re an crucial bureaucrat in the creation .

The " hero " in this case could be either Harry or Naruto . The ending of both of their stories have law of similarity down to small-scale detail like age . While the amount of children they have is different , sequelsBorutoandCursed Childboth have similar premiss . In the literal end , both tale at their essence have exchangeable themes and secret plan points , tying together something quintessentially British and something especially Japanese to prove how standardised we all are .
