Consider that Star Wars is about the Freudian death drive, like the Death Star annihilating a whole planet in seconds, using magic to choke your enemies from across the room, lightsabers (phallic symbols) puerilely cutting people in half, darth vader being the shadow archetype.
Harry Potter is the life drive / libido through the Easter story of Jesus, magic wands, broomsticks, snakes, centaurs and hippogriffs representing the mergence of gender, Harry Potter is JK Rowling's male avatar.
