Characters that were an inspiration by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg included Harry Steele (Secret of the Incas), who wore a similar outfit as Indiana Jones: fedora, leather jacket, satchel, and gun. Another was Allan Quatermain (King Solomon's Mines).
NO! Answer No possible comparison because they are different genres. Harry Potter movies came from a series of books, which, to me, added to the thrill of the movies if you had read them beforehand. The Indiana Jones movies (no books) were more character based, with a good part of the enjoyment seeing Indiana's reactions to situations. On the other hand, the special effects of Harry Potter were spectacular--the scene of the owls flying in during the first movies and the quidditch game scenes were especially memorable. There weren't as many effects needed in Indiana Jones, but some of them were especially otherworldly.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (now known as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark) is the first film in what has become the Indiana Jones series of fantasy-adventure films produced by Stephen Spielberg. This film is based around a race between the main character, an archeologist named Indiana Jones, and a band of German Nazis to find the 'Ark of the Covenant', an artifact that Hitler believes will make him invincible. The search for this artifact leads both Jones and the Nazis deep into Nepal and Cairo where they are constantly trying to better the other. In the end, Indiana's prowess and knowledge win out and he is able to bring the Ark back to the CIA.
