  • Essay / Who is the Incurable Wound Archetype - 747

    In my opinion, the "Initiation" archetype is best described as the new consciousness of the Triwizard Tournament, and when Harry finds out he will be participating at the tournament, whether he intended to do so or not. The new problems to solve are, on the one hand, the tournament tasks (dragons, kidnappings and maze) and, on the other hand, staying alive, when someone is obviously trying to harm or probably kill him during the tournament. The “Fall” archetype is not as pronounced as the others, I would venture to say that it can be correlated to the portkey in the maze, and that it is it which transports Harry and Cedric through the “Threshold” ( symbolic archetype). The “Threshold” archetype is described as a gateway to another realm that the hero must enter to mature and grow. By being transported to the graveyard, meeting Voldemort in his own body, and experiencing exactly what he is capable of doing, Harry grows and better understands who his enemy is and what must be done to stop him..
