I haven't read all of Ender's game yet. I'm about 60 pages in and I can't get over the similarities.

They both feature a young kid with a troubled home life. They are both watched over by a few characters. They both meet their nemesis in transit to their destination. They both hold the promise of great things. They both go to school to learn the tricks of the trade.

Anyone else notice this?

There's a very big difference between Harry Potter and Andrew Higgens! I'd tell you what it is, but I don't want to spoil the story for you.

Posting tip:

Read the whole book before you start a thread like this.

Well, there are a few similarities of theme, but they work out much, much differently.

Ender's Game rocked... wasn't there a movie in the works supposedly?

Sounds like 90% of all children/teenager books

Isn't his name Andrew Wiggin, not Higgens or whatever?

This much stupidity is not allowed in the OT.

Please go back to where you came from (I assuming you are from the gaming discussion). This sort of logic is welcome there.

And yes his last name is not Higgins.

You're right. I'm wrong. That's what I get for not reading Ender's Game in over a year.

He's only 60 pages in guys. :lol

Mr. Card is a cool guy. I got two autographed copies of Ender's Game at E3 2003

Well if you mix up Battle School with Hogwart's you'll probably end up with something like this.
