LOTR is so much better, I think.. Harry Potter the books were good, but the movies couldnt nearly match up to LOTR

hmmmmz i love them both but lotr is classic but i think harry potter isn't a spin off. it's not like it has the same story line of lotr. But if i had to choose between the two i say lord of the rings. Harry potter seems like a fad to me.

LOTR. LOTR has been around much longer and is still popular--why? It's WAY better than HP. LOTR has way much more content than HP. HP is quite exciting, and am a fan of it myself, but you could not possibly try and compare HP to LOTR...

dude...no duh LOTR hahaha. legolas and aragon i just cant resist. lol they're so sexy. they include more entertainment too and a lil bit humor. unlike harry potter even though im a big fan of theirs. hp is just a classical magical movie. barely any humor except for when ron says anything. lol the boring part bout LOTR is that they have a lot of boring talking scenes. i just love the endings and like the battles. they're so good.

For Harry Potter, I like both the books and the movies.
For LOTR, I only like the movies because I'm not interested in the books. Why do people have to compare them? I know there are a lot of similarities between them, but I think both are good. |

are you talking about the movies or the books? because in books i like harry potter better because i just cant stand books like LOTR they're just to complicated for me and i dont know to old timish and boring for me. i like harry potter because its jsut a great story. i guess we all have our own opinion, but i liked the LOTR movies they were kinda cool.

HP and LOTR are both fantasy.
Everything that's fantasy can be related. They're all alike. They all take stuff from each other. In fact, it's difficult now to write a fantasy book that's ORIGINAL. So, saying that they're alike isn't saying much at all. HP is great in it's own way; it has a different sort of tragedy, a different sort of world...and the books are sending different messages (parental love, value of friendship, etc.) LOTR is the work of a genius. Tolkien's a genius. Rowling is too, but in a different way. Tolkien's books are, of course, harder to read and understand. There's a reason LOTR's normally in the adult fiction section of a library while HP's in the young adult section. But LOTR is awesome because it has something HP doesn't; a completely different world with its own history, myths, languages, etc. Everything has been made. You could LIVE there if it was real. HP's world is made inside the world we already know, so it's just...different. I'd hafta say that LOTR is better just because there's so much to it; it's not just about the Ring and Aragorn's background. It's also about the Shire's own battle, the elves' leaving Middle-Earth, and every character's own story. Oh, and about the movies...LOTR movies are WAY better. HP movies just lacked the spirit of the books; they really did. LotR, while still changing many things, kept a lot of Tolkien's magic in it. HP...I was really disappointed by the movies. Far too rushed, too focused on time issues, etc. |

LOTR also has a lot more depth and complexity I think.. Tolkien is a genius, did he invent the Elvish language himself? QUOTE Oh, and about the movies...LOTR movies are WAY better.

Far too rushed, too focused on time issues, etc. Most definitely.. the LOTR movies were able to capture and covey Tolkien's genius, whereas the HP movies were disappoingly short... plus they seemd to be ill-fortuned.. didnt they have to get a new Dumbledore every movie cuz something happened to the actor? |
