The Orphan Archetype is comprised of people that have to grow up without the love and support of parental figures. They have to find themselves and their path in life independently. Harry Potter from the Harry Potter novels is a very well-known Orphan Hero as he overcame many adversities and aspired others through his fortitude and brave manner. Harry’s parents died when he was a young child and he was dropped off at his aunt and uncles where he was completely neglected growing up(Rowling). “Harry’s

child heroes who are very often neither hero nor villain, but a wild, subversive combination of both” (258). These characteristics are also true of Coraline and Harry Potter, as they are presented as imperfect, but ultimately find the power within themselves to save what is important to them.

As his eleventh birthday strikes at midnight a man whose name is Hagrid, from the wizard world, reveals to Harry that he is not just human in the muggle world (a world where people were born without magic), but he is a wizard that is known as “The boy who lived” and it is time for him to start his training.
