摘要：《哈利·波特》系列小说是英国作家J·K·罗琳的作品。主人公哈利·波特在霍格沃茨魔法学校学习魔法，走进了一个从未知晓的神秘世界。《哈利·波特》系列小说重现了人类童年时代的神话史诗，贯穿始终的英雄原型也反映了当代人对于英雄的精神需求。本文将从哈利·波特,赫敏·格兰杰以及伏地魔三位角色背后所存在的原型进行分析，揭示这些人物背后的那些相类似的情节和细节原型，并指出作者颠覆实际为读者创造出这么一个美妙却又不切实际的世界，旨在抛去“物”的枷锁束缚，满足人们对于神话或者英雄梦的美好向往，回归人的本性。

In Harry Potter, all the stories develop along with Harry’s seven-year life in Hogwarts. He grows to maturity from a shy little boy, learning to bear responsibility and converting to a little hero who dares to resist Voldemort. For the children who live in the reality world, Harry’s seven years in Hogwarts are so unbelievable but colorful. There is neither heavy housework nor pressure in the magic world. What Rowling has created is what all the children dream for. It is such a wonderful work that no child can refuse it. Harry porter is not only a children literature but also a new myth in the modern world. There is always a prototype or several prototypes behind almost every creature and character. Harry Potter shares the same characteristic with Oedipus and Achilles, while Hermione Granger is the combination of Hermes and Hermione. In the meantime, Voldemort is a reborn figure of Satan and Janus.
