Fantastic Character Traits

Some creatures of fantasy appear more than once in different stories.
For example, trolls are always protraid as ugly gruesome animals. In both Harry Potter and The Hobbit trolls are huge and scary. They could kill you but they're not very smart or sneaky. Wizards are often saviors and the good guys but they can also be bad. In Harry Potter they main characters are good and in The Hobbit Gandalf is good, as well. Goblins are almost exactly the same. The only difference is in one movie (Harry Potter) they work in a bank and deal with riches but no one messes with them. In the other, they work in a cave and no one messes with them. In both stories, though, they seem to be evil and mean. Harry Potter and The Hobbit both stress the importance of a ring. One of Lord Voldemorts horecrux's is a ring that needed to be destroyed to reach their final goal. Bilbo's ring is something that they will need to accomplish their final goal of getting the treasure. Harry's invisibility cloak and Bilbo's invisibility ring are very important to both stories. The Sword of Gryfindor is very important as in Thorin's goblin killing sword.
