I just finished THE BOOKS OF MAGIC by Neil Gaiman. It was pretty clever how it's divided into 4 chapters and each chapter was illustrated by four different people, almost like a portrayal of the four different characters and the realms they travel to.
Aside from that, I'm very surprised by the number of characters in literature I've come across that resemble J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. I wonder if Rowling is aware of these resemblances.
Here, we have Tim Hunter from Gaiman's BOOKS OF MAGIC. Tim even has an owl, like Harry, although the owl was magicked from a yo-yo (hence the name Yo-Yo).
And here we have Thomas from Margaret Mary Kimmel’s MAGIC IN THE MIST, sporting a scarf similar to one Harry would wear.
I wonder if messy black hair and big round glasses is just a universal look for a typical geek. *shrug*
