** What does Franchise/HarryPotter This film is often noted for its striking similarity to the later ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series. To start with, we have to do the premise of a trio of youngsters solving a supernatural-flavored mystery at an old British boarding school filled with eccentric professors and loads of gothic atmosphere. The three leads even bear a physical resemblance, with the bespectacled young Watson looking like Harry, the gangly young Holmes looking like Ron, and the bushy-haired Elizabeth looking like Hermione. Personalitywise, Ron is more like Watson while Hermione is more like Holmes. ''Young Sherlock Holmes''? [[http://harryholmes.blogspot.com/ A lot, actually!]]Holmes'' also features a rival student named Dudley, and while he has the name of Harry's gluttonous cousin, he more closely resembles, in both looks and demeanor, the blond, sneering, aristocratic Draco Malfoy. And the most bizarre twist in all this is that ''Young Sherlock Holmes'' was written by Creator/ChrisColumbus, who would go on to direct the first two ''Film/HarryPotter'' films.
