There are a number of glaring parallels:

>both feature dense MCs, who are about to enter a world alien to them
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
>both feature magic
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
>both have huge nutcase fandoms that churn out an infinite supply of fanfiction and analysis
>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

/lit/ - literature

I think it's because both draw so heavily from Christianity, so in a very vague way they're both Biblical derivatives and therefore the comparison is justified.

Who give le fuck?

You do know that you just described literally every single YA fantasy novel, right?
>>
>>7395533

Literature is books. Harry Potter is a book. So it's technically literature.

Shoo, back to your containment board, child

>>7395529

Both are shit and have the most horrid fanbases I've seen in any medium.

You might be onto something but you could apply what you've listed to any YA novel.

i didn't "miss out", i read it.

it's still shit and the fanbase is retarded.

>>7395529
You're comparison is ridiculously basic. It can be applied to at least 1/3 of all fantasy, if not more.

Is Harry Potter the English equivalent of Dragon Ball Z?
>both feature dense MCs, who are about to enter a world alien to them
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
>both feature bright lights and shouting
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
>both have huge nutcase fandoms that churn out an infinite supply of fanfiction and analysis

Harry Potter is wildly popular with people of all ages.
Fate is popular with fat 20 something Japanese NEET shut ins who live with mom.

So no.
>>
Fate is deep and lit, while harry potter delves into pop teen shit. They are completly different.

Modern /lit/, everyone.

This does not belong on /his/, although it doesn't belong on /lit/ either, if it was about Harry Potter, it could stay(your dislike of books shows your one of those professor fags to shitpost in here), but OP's question makes it clear that his main topic is fate night.

If he asked the question the other way around, he wouldn't have a problem.

This is an /a/ thread.

/his/ is where we redirect all the plebs, such as yourself and OP, now

>>7399040
Fate/Stay Night is a visual novel which is mainly driven by a written narrative.
