Answer 3

I did hear that the tale of rumpelstiltskin is a phallic analogy. Think about the name.

Answer 4

Rumpelstiltskin is a story - not a myth or legend.

It was a story about hope being eternal - and good triumphing over evil and greed.  It's a story - just like Harry Potter - just a story.  Being a story doesn't make it either a myth OR  legend.
