Abstract
The archetypes are characters and plots that reappear in literature throughout history in different cultures and narrative genres. Archetypal literary criticism analyses a literary work through its archetypes, which puts focus on the roles of the characters in the story and the narrative structure. J. K. Rowling uses archetypal characters in the Harry Potter series and this allows the readers to identify themselves with her unique characters because they are already familiar to them even though they are new. She casts Harry Potter as the hero, Lord Voldemort as the villain, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as the hero’s sidekicks, Albus Dumbledore as the mentor, and Fred and George Weasley as the tricksters for an element of comedy. Rowling also applies Campbell’s archetypal plot pattern Hero’s Journey to the series. She uses the Separation, Initiation and Return model to create a cycle in which Harry leaves the Dursleys and goes to Hogwarts each September, works on stopping Voldemort until he ultimately does, and returns back to the ordinary world. This cycle can be observed in Harry’s main quest, but it can also be noticed in each of the seven novels as secondary quests.
