So I was thinking after class today and I thought of some more similarities between The Wizards of Perfil and Harry Potter, other than the fact that both stories are about wizards. One big thing is The Cupboard Under the Stairs which I feel was taken directly from HP. Harry sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs for most of his life when he is living with the Dursleys and Halsa is given a room under the stairs when she arrives to the tower in Perfil. This living situation in both stories is supposed to be for someone like a servant, as Halsa is treated at first and as Harry was treated by the Dursleys.
I also think that Tolcet can be compared to Hagrid or Dumbledore, since he seems to be the person who goes to seek out magical children who know they are different, but are not sure why. Then he takes them to a new place full of magic. Harry Potter does not know that a magical world exists but he does know that he can talk to snakes and make strange things happen. I'm sure someone goes to the houses of muggle-born children like Hermione to explain about the school and why the child should attend.
I'm thinking this could be a good paper topic, but I'll have to see if I can make it more specific.
