This article provides an archetypal analysis of Harry Potter's self-completion at three heroic stages: departure, initiation, and return. Harry's experiences demonstrate his heroic traits: the infant exile and reaction to the call for adventures at the departure stage, a road of trials at the initiation stage, and freedom to live at the return stage, all contributing to his self-transcendence. During these periods, the defeat of Voldemort, the shadow archetype, and Harry's unconscious self, also plays an indispensable part in the development of his heroic identity.
