The Ruins of Gorlan Comparision

Hey guys, The Whole Blogging Show here and I want to talk about the book I am reading called the Ruins of Gorlan and I feel that this book reminds me a lot of Harry Potter, here's the reason why.

In the beginning of the book for Harry Potter you'll see Harry be put in one of the houses having the four, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor each class has its different meaning, while the Ruin of Gorlan you have a Cooking class, Scribemasters, CraftMasters, Horse School, and Battle school. These different classes are for the kids choices in this case and the main character, Will wants to be put in Battle school but instead goes to Rangers school which is a special class almost everyone was nervous about. Will is rejected by Horse and Battle school leading to the Ranger's Apprentice because he is too small, it says, "'I'm afraid he's too small, my lord,' he said. Will felt a cold hand clutch his heart" (28). Like Harry Potter, people doubted him for his looks just like Will. There's also the fact that his friends are kind of like Harry's friend Hermonie and cousin Dudley. Horace who is like Dudley is described in the book is, "Horace was big for his age and a natural athlete." Now Dudley who is more chubby rather athletic was big for his age just like Horace. And the girl who is like Hermonie who is very smart is Alyss who is described as, "He knew that the tall, graceful girl had already been promised a place as an apprentice by a laugh Pauline head of a castle Redmont's Diplomatic Service."  Hermonie who was stuck-up to her teachers to be let in certain classes is a lot like Alyss.

That's why I think the Ruins of Gorlan is a lot like Harry Potter.
