"Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" - James Potter (DH)
Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" - Draco Malfoy (PS)
Similar yet different!
Quite ironic isn't it? Father of the hero and arch nemisis of the hero have the same line. I don't think it's a coincidence that both James and Draco quote a similar line about a house they were prejudiced against. Both boys were brought up as the only sons in rich pureblood families. Both were undoubtedly spoilt. Both were definitely raised with a house prejudice. Both were definitely arrogant, attention-seeking and self-entitled as a result of their privileged upbringing.
But despite their similarities, there is also a stark contrast between both boys. James was prejudiced against a house that was known to produce the most evil wizards. Draco was prejudiced against a house that was known to produce the least evil wizards.
This showed that James' misguided prejudice was against the house he thought of as evil (which good naturally hates) while Draco's misguided prejudice was against the house he probably thought of as the loser house. Hence the contrast between both boys come out, with James being the مزید positive one.
Another contrast between James and Draco is their friends. The only one of James' دوستوں that Draco would befriend as an equal is Sirius Black. Draco would probably let someone like Peter Pettigew in his gang as a shoe polishing boy to boss around but would definitely not consider him a friend یا equal. Peter was دیا equal treatment سے طرف کی James and gang if آپ look at him siting with them as equals without being bossed around in SWM.
I don't see Draco befriending Lupin, but even if he does, he most definitely would have dropped Lupin as a friend after he found out about him being a warewolf. Draco clearly has a prejudice against creatures like warewolves and half-breeds like half-giants. His prejudice against half-breed can be seen سے طرف کی his deplorable treatment of Hagrid. James on the other does not دکھائیں such a prejudice. He is never seen interacting with Hagrid, but from Hagrid's account of him, it can be inferred that he was good to Hagrid.
Another significant difference between both James and Draco who come from similar backgrounds is their view of blood purity. James does not hold pureblood supremacy views. He was enraged when Snape called Lily a mudblood, married a muggle-born and fought against a muggle-born prejudice سے طرف کی going against Voldy and gang. Draco on the other hand held pureblood supremacy گیا پڑھا مرتبہ while he was at Hogwarts and used the word mudblood as common as hello.
Both boys had their faults in school. They were spoilt, they were bullies in their own right and were quite nasty to people they didn't like. But both eventually matured and grew out of their faults سے طرف کی their 7th year.
In conclusion, I feel like James and Draco represent the contrast between what a Potter and a Malfoy would be like, growing up in the same background. Both were spoilt, arrogant, attention seeking and self-entitled as most children from their background would be. But inherently, James, the Potter showed inner goodness from the start that Draco, the Malfoy only developed his after his life-lessons. This is definitely due to the differences in their parents as people which shone though their personality. But this is just my opinion.

Marnie Piper
I first saw Halloweentown back in 2001 before Harry Potter hit the cinema theatres! Okay, I was very happy that Marnie is her own character and she is not the typical Mary Sue character.
Hermione Granger
Okay, I watched all of the Harry Potter series, and I have that Hermione is actually very much like Marnie, in terms of personality except that she مزید of a book-worm. To whom I look up to, not to forget that their names rhyme!
If Harry Potter and Halloweentown were to be set in the same universe, it would be great to make a film about the characters together!
Hermione یا Marnie?
Who do آپ like? If آپ have anymore similarities between these 2 heroines, let me know!
Dumbledore's office
*Dumbledore's office, a quiet retreat and study for the sage Headmaster, was located in one of the highest towers of Hogwarts. Dumbledore's fascination with the universe and the skies became the room's defining feature.
*One of the most expensive سہارا in the film was the working telescope in Dumbledore's office which was rarely seen on screen.
*On the shelves in Dumbledore's office are hundreds of books, many of which are actually old phonebooks covered in leather and dust.
Gryffindor common room
*The Gryffindor common room and the boys' dormitory were actually built as two connected sets. The staircase spirals up to a hallway that in one direction led to the boys' dormitory set. In the other direction a doorway simply drops off into nowhere.
