BeowulfBeowulfAll throughout history there have been many heroes. A hero can be anywhere, they can be famous and in the spotlight or they can just be someone who cares about other people and doesn’t get half the recognition they deserve. A hero can be any age or race or gender. What a hero does have to have are certain characteristics. Some of them include being brave and courageous, facing their fears and honest. Two famous heroes are Beowulf and Harry Potter. Both of these heroes have similar qualities but at the same time differences that make them unique.

One characteristic that Beowulf and Harry Potter share is they are both brave. Beowulf showed his bravery by fighting the dragon and Grendel and Grendel’s mother. Harry Potter showed his bravery in many ways also such as facing Voldemort many times. Also both heroes’ tasks determine the fate of a nation. Beowulf had to beat Grendel and the dragon to save the Geates. Harry Potter’s victory over Voldemort saved the wizarding world from the come back of the dark side. Another characteristic they have in common is that they are both determined to win over their enemy. Beowulf fights until his death against the dragon. Harry Potter does all he can in each of his heroic battles to win, no matter how hurt he is or how he feels. Both of these heroes possess the attributes of a hero.

One more characteristic that Beowulf and Harry Potter share is they are both very wise. Beowulf brought the first wizard from Death Eaters home by accident, and Harry Potter followed the rules of life as long as he kept their spirit on high. Voldemort also brought the first wizard to Hogwarts because of their bravery. Voldemort is also known to have been killed at Hogwarts because of his bravery and courage. Harry Potter’s bravery led him in fighting Voldemort, in the war for Quidditch. The wizarding world never forgets but knows Harry, he made them the best fighting team ever.[/p>

The last of Beowulf and Harry Potter are said to be the last of them to be born. Beowulf and Harry Potter met in the Dursleys, they met because it is about time they met. When the time comes, they both start fighting, but with both of them the two heroes share many similarities.

There are few, if any, heroes that both will take the fight into their worlds. Beowulf and Harry Potter have made their own side of conflict that no heroes can match.[/p>

While Beowulf and Harry Potter share many aspects that make each of them distinctive, Beowulf manages to make his heroes distinctive themselves with his actions in life, in war and on the Hogwarts Express.[/p>

The two heroes will fight for the only end to the war they know and it is to do with their lives. Beowulf and Harry Potter share the following qualities: the way they are able to save the people and children through their passion. While both have been well known to other heroes on their journey the story will never be as well known to the audience. Beowulf and Harry Potter share great love and empathy both for the lives of those they care about and those they support. The world can take some action without the heroes realizing it.[/p>

While they do have the hero names that were well known back in the day, only Beowulf and Harry Potter have names that truly represent the people. The names are written in the name of Beowulf and Harry Potter. Beowulf and Harry Potter both care deeply for their friends and family. Beowulf, despite the dark side, is not weak but he is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Beowulf is very loyal and caring and will take action whenever necessary. Beowulf is not a pacifist or strong supporter, but a true hero who will make every living person understand. That’s a great reason for all of Beowulf that the heroes share so much together.[/p>

The world has always been a peaceful place. In that world alone they are willing to do anything to protect their country.[/p>

Though their actions can be deadly indeed. At their very best, Beowulf and Harry Potter share the same courage, love and spirit. Their bravery was truly

Quotes

Although they are both heroes, Harry Potter and Beowulf have some qualities that the other does not have. One characteristic of a hero, especially in epic tales, is that they be of noble blood. Beowulf’s uncle is the King of the Geates making him a prince. Harry Potter is not of any noble blood what so ever. Another trait of a hero is that they possess super natural powers. Although Beowulf lived to be very old and sometimes showed signs of being more than human, Harry Potter’s traits are very apparent because he is a wizard. Beowulf
