It depends on the interpretation -- The T.H. White and Geoffrey versions of Merlin are identical in that they both were involved with Arthur and his trial of the sword, Excalibur. However, White's version has him playing the absent-minded professor, while Geoffrey paints him with more sinister and cunning colors. His psychic powers and demonic parentage made him more than a man, in Harry Potter's universe Merlin would be sort of a Dumbledore and Voldermort combination, someone to be admired and feared. Never truly evil, Merlin has come down to us as a complex and interesting character whose tale has been fodder for many stories and much drama
