Recycled Scripts

You know... Even screen writers have been recycling! Robb brought this home to me yesterday, knowing how much I went over board on Star Wars when I was ten. I never saw the resemblance to Harry Potter until now...
Star Wars A New Hope Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone; synopsis
Luke Skywalker Harry Potter is an orphan living with his uncle and aunt on the remote wilderness of Tatooine suburbia.

He is rescued from aliens muggles by wise, bearded Ben Kenobi Hagrid, who turns out to be a Jedi Knight wizard.

Ben Hagrid reveals to Luke Harry that Luke's Harry's father was also a Jedi Knight wizard, and was the best pilot Quidditch player he had ever seen.

Luke Harry is also instructed in how to use the Jedi light sabre a magic wand as he too trains to become a Jedi wizard.

Luke Harry has many adventures in the galaxy Hogwarts and makes new friends such as Han Solo Ron and Princess Leia Hermione.

In the course of these adventures he distinguishes himself as a top X-wing pilot Quidditch seeker in the battle of the Death Star Quidditch match, making the direct hit catch that secures the Rebels Gryffinder victory against the forces of evil. Slytherin.

Luke Harry also sees off the threat of Darth Vader Lord Voldermort, who we know murdered his uncle and aunt parents.

In the finale, Luke Harry and his new friends receive medals of valor win the House cup.

All of this will be set to an orchestral score composed by John Williams.

Have a great weekend!

    Timely post with the release of HP & The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 being released on DVD today!! (Picking up our copy asap!!) Reminds me of the comparison I saw between Avatar and Pocahontas!! If you haven't seen it, just google it and I'm sure you'll find it. It's too true!

    Oh my Lordy! THAT'S why Miles is obsessed with both Star Wars and Harry Potter! I'm so going to repost this for some of my friends with kids equally obsessed. You're awesome.
