The book Eragon by Christopher Paolini
This vid is restricted on a school acc just to let you guys know. Though I watched it and I think Harry Potter kinda is related to it, correct me if I am wrong!
If you go to viewpure.com, enter the URL of the video, and you can watch it. It’s what I did on my school computer.
The Lightning Thief
Rick Riordan
1 – He goes to a camp and gets a prophecy
2 – Percy’s camp director helps him, and Annabeth and Grover (his best friend) will journey with him.
3 – They leave camp.
4 – They slay monsters and find out what they are looking for is in a specific place. Percy battles more monsters and finally, they make it to their destination.
5 – They approach the place, a dangerous place. They barely make it in because of…let’s just say the bouncer.
6 – Grover is almost pulled under, but Percy and Annabeth save him. They are getting closer to being dead.
7 – The thing they are looking for is found.
8 – Some people try to stop him from getting the object to the rightful owner. Percy fights them and pretty much wins.
9 – The object is returned to the rightful owner, and World War III is prevented.
10 – Someone turns on Percy, backstabbing him when he least expects it (metaphorically)
11 – The traitor is gone and had revealed who and why he was working for someone.
12 – Percy’s a hero, backstabber is gone, and the next book is coming.

The Dorothy Must Die Series by Danielle Paige
Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black
Part of Your World by Liz Braswell
This Savage Song series by Victoria Schwab
The Chronicles of Narnia, both the series and movies.
I guess the City of Ember can work in this case because Doon and Lina help each other and the treasure is basically getting out of Ember into the above ground world.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief
The other books of this series also matches the “Hero’s Journey”

I used a pretty basic one, all of the books in the Percy Jackson franchise.
The movie Onward by Disney and Pixar
The movies incredibles 2
The Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordian
Harry Potter is my favorite Hero’s Journey story but a classic hero’s journey is The Odyssey. I read it for school this year and it follows Odysseus as he goes on a journey to return home, facing lots of challenges along the way.
I think the movie Onward, and the Harry Potter series.
I think the Harry Potter series reminds me of this.
That’s an interesting connection! Why do you think that?
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum
I think The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum fits the Hero’s Journey.
