King Arthur's Merlin

To be obvious, I always think of the show "Camelot". It was a Starz show that only lasted for one season. I never watched it, but I know that it was to be based off of Arthurian legends and stories.


When I think of a more obscure example, I think of Harry Potter. I don't think of the entire series, but only a small scene in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In order to defeat Voldemort, all of the Horcurxes(objects that have pieces of Voldemort's soul in them) have to be destroyed. Only then can Voldemort be defeated. Professor Dumbledore and Harry go to a destroy one-a necklace. In order to destroy it, they have to get it out of this container full of liquid. The liquid has to be drank, and drives you crazy in the process. It inhibits you from being able to reach the Horcrux. In the scene, Dumbledore is the one who has to drink the liquid, even when Harry has to force him. Only then can Harry obtain the Horcrux from the container. This particular scene reminds of the sword in the stone tale, even if Harry(Arthur) had to have help from Dumbledore(Merlin).
