The widely accepted “The Hero’s Journey” theory is devised and arranged into stages by Joseph Campbell in 1947; Further, it was interpreted and adapted by Christopher Vogler, which can be illustrated through “Lord of The Rings” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. This is simple but powerful theory which eclipses these films and continues to captivate the audiences. Overtime, for both these films we see how the hero’s characters develop.

“The call may come in any form- either may be through a messenger, or a war, no matter what we have to stay focused” (Vogler, p. 100). This means that the adventure could seep through any nook and corner. “The hero lifts up, dazzling, and frightened probably, goes ahead to pick up the call” (Vogler, p. 102). In the Hero’s Journey, the adventure began when he received a phone call; stating that both him and his family are in danger. It may or may not be genuine.

Vogler means to say that, either in any tale of woe and fiction, before any difficult situation the hero ends up meeting someone beforehand who can guide him well. “The mentor, Chiron led his heroes in training taught them a lot of things and gave them a lot of skills in various fields.” (Vogler, p. 119).
