I'll GIVE YOU A BRAINLIEST The Ultimate Boon
Having advanced past the previous steps, the hero finally achieves the main purpose of his or her journey—the ultimate boon. At times it means avenging someone or destroying something (the One Ring, the Death Star). Other times the ultimate boon comes in the form of a holy grail or the elixir of life itself. For Harry Potter, his ultimate boon is defeating Voldemort and discovering the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Refusal of the Return

Now that the hero has been enlightened, he or she might not feel like returning to his or her old life, but the adventurer “still must return with [a] life-transmuting trophy.” In the 2011 film version of Little Red Riding Hood, Valerie refuses to return to live with her family after slaying the Big Bad Wolf. Still, most heroes do eventually return home, feeling a responsibility to share their new wisdom so others may benefit.

The Magic Flight

If the hero decides to go home, this is when he or she must figure out how. Dorothy is faced with this dilemma throughout her heroine’s journey in The Wizard of Oz. Sometimes the return is dangerous, especially if the hero must escape with the boon and face further obstacles. This last stage can also be a comical pursuit, like in Toy Story when Buzz flies into Andy’s car after defeating Sid.
