Heroism in Young Adult Fiction

Abstract - Harry Potter's "hero": a philosopher's stone, a young book took up his boring and boring life and wiped out Hogwart's dream boarding school. In Black Cauldron Taran, the manager of a pig is also in a similar situation, released from chores and abandoned on a magnificent journey.

This type of heroism seems to be consistent with two books that Hobbit has become the most unlikely hero and similar books like the Lord of the Rings.
