Harry Potter baffles me - I really don't get why its popular but it is. It attracts children, young adults, and infuriates some adults who accuse Rowling of satanism for some reason... (-_-). But it's gotten popular for being a modern take on epic fantasy; fine, you can like it. But I can't agree that the quality or depth of Harry Potter is higher than of Lord of the Rings - Tolkien put his soul into that and his effort shows; Rowling got lucky with getting HP#1 published and well-received.

I mean it's like saying Modern Warfare 3 will "shit all over Halo Classic". Well, yeah, Halo 1 came out how many years ago; or saying that MW3 is a rip-off of Halo - absolutely preposterous given that Halo simply came earlier and has very little in common with MW3. You make an ass out of yourself saying either of these because it's an unfair comparison

@BlizzardGamification and of course, the Star Wars films were written as SCREENPLAYS to be viewed as MOVIES; whereas the Jackson LoTR was an adaption of Tolkien's work. You're pitting a screenplay against a series of epic novels. The movies are fantastic, you're implying that they were aiming for the same goal of entertainment. The scores and world of Jackson's LoTR could easily be topped by Luca's era-relevant revolutionary filmmaking genius.

@smash37 @smash37 that said. From the 2-3 HP books I've opened compared to the first LoTR novel I've just opened, bloody hell, trust me the LoTR books are far more detailed. By quality, Tolkien shoots over Rowling; he made his own maps and languages for pete's sake. I think a book-based view like HP > LoTR instead of just the movies is merely relevant to what time you picked up each book.

@Satschinga because of course making a statement like "Lord of the Rings is better than sex!" is completely unbiased on the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-Ray TV Spot" Youtube video and the forty supporters you get aren't equally biased persons and overly-excited children pumped from this announcement.

When I was 4-5 years old I saw the original Star Wars trilogy and I was forever changed on a creative level. They are still among my all-time favorites but for my generation it was The Lord of the Rings! Truly remarkable movies, just... everything! Howard Shore's soaring score, NZ's unforgettable landscape, the perfect cast both in appearance as well as performances, groundbreaking SFX, the memorable old-fashioned Tolkien dialogue... ahhh :) and please... HP isn't even close to LOTR's quality.
