Huck Finn: A Bildungsroman?

After reading the novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I did not find as strong of evidence to classify it as a bildungsroman as I did for Harry Potter.  However, this is not to say that the book should not be classified as such.  While one can observe definitive growth in the character of Huck Finn, it may be the less fantastical light in which he is portrayed, as compared to Harry Potter, which distracts from his overt “growth.”  The dynamic changes that can be seen in Huck’s character are much more human, and therefore, more fluctuating and less dramatic than the gradual, climatic growth of Harry Potter.  Although Huck developed into a more conscientious and civilized person by the end, one can hardly say that Huck grew from a boy to a man.  As evidenced in the book, there is still plenty of things to be learned and development to be had by Huckleberry Finn.  The book also ends with Huck desiring to head West, seeking more adventures, which only leaves the reader questioning into what kind of character Huck Finn will continue to develop.
