I personally am a LOTR fan. I love the whole fantasy element of it, the elves, the wizards, magic, yet action. Harry Potter is okay, but I think not as good as LOTR. It gets confusing after a while, and while I was reading the books I got bored. Which one do you prefer?

he, yeah. I started reading the prelude to lotr, "The Hobbit". and i havent read much, but I read the first few chapters and so far its boring. Im HOPING its really good. cuz i reallyy want to like it. idk y but older books like that seemed to be a lot more boring than nowadays. either that or our attention spans have gotten smaller. because the "classics" are SO boring.

I am both LOTR and Harry Potter addict. I came to the point that I believed that there is a Middle earth(LOTR) and that there are wizards & witches around us that we don't see. They are both great. I read the books for both movies. I miss Aragorn.... At the end Harry Potter fans will understand and love Prof. Snape.

Yea, I am currently starting to read the LOTR series. I hope its as good as people say. I MIGHT try to read HP again, cuz when i read it a few years ago i was bored n confused, so i just stopped. and lol. wow. tats kinda wat twilight did to me. Its not even TAT good of a movie in comparison, but i guess the idea of them living among us in our modern society has brainwashed me. :P I sometimes feel kinda paranoid cuz I am imagining how it would be like if someone in my class could hear exactly what I'm thinking. n then im like OH CRA*. wat if its TAT person? Wat if its that person? Wat if they can hear me thinking this right now! oh crud! stop right now! stoopp...o.O but back to lotr, i recently ordered the evenstar pendant necklace. n im SO excited!

I like Harry Potter better. He's much easier to relate to for me. You have to be very European to much get LOTR, I feel. I feel the opposite of you. LOTR is much more confusing for me than Potter. To each their own.

Hm, really? personally I think harry potter is more confusing for me. :P I mean I read i think the first 2 or 3 books n after a while they got so boring n confusing that i just stopped. I dont even remember the plots of the last few movies, they all get more and more complicated. And haha, european? Really? I dont get that, but haha its funny cuz i was actually born in Europe. so lol. maybe theres some connection there....

I love HARRY POTTER. It's so very amazing because it could really stir you imagination. It's just so wonderful and full of fantasies. LOTR I finished the first book and when I read the second one I wasn't moving because I always sleep on it.. It's very boring so I stopped reading.

LOTR is awesome, the music, plot, characters and much more is perfect, I think Harry Potter is ok, but it doesn't top LOTR

I prefer LOTR, it has strong speeches and the idea is showing Man in his weaker side and strong side.. Harry Potter is catering to kids, all about kids stuff.
