Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the best of the English medieval romances, and Harry Potter could also be considered a romance. In medieval romances there is a love interest, which exists in J.K. Rowling's series in the form of Cho Chang and then Ginny Weasley and some possible other girls, just like Sir Gawain has the lady of the castle as his love temptation. Harry Potter involves supernatural elements, such as magic, dragons, witches and wizards, and other mythical and magical beasts and beings, just like in Sir Gawain there is a magic green belt. Harry Potter always opens at a feast, in true medieval romance fashion, in the Great Hall, and the series involves many challenge throughout young Harry's years, such as the Triwizard Tournament, and, the obvious, challenging, and finally defeating, Lord Voldemort.
