Newsweek has a very interesting article now online comparing the (fictional) lives of Harry Potter and moss boss Tony Soprano of HBO's award-winning and long running show "The Sopranos." As both series are coming to an end within a few weeks of each other, the magazine takes a look at the two similarities between the very popular characters.
"Most obviously, Tony and Harry are both uneasy protagonists in their respective dramas. Each of them itches inside the confines of his role. Tony is so uncomfortable with the ramifications of his job that he's been seeing a shrink since the series began. Harry is equally uneasy being cast as the designated hitter in the ultimate battle of good and evil against Lord Voldemort. They are, in short, very modern heroes, the kind consumed by self-doubt."
This lengthy article continues to focus on some of the larger moral issues within each of the series.
