Which do you like most Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?

pure energy · 09-02-2004, 12:35 AM

I go for Harry Potter

irishfury · 09-02-2004, 12:39 AM

Lord of the rings is all time classic.....

I like harry potter also...

Though my fav fantasy novels our the Chornicles of Amber

Shooter · 09-02-2004, 12:42 AM

LOTR, but to be fair I only saw bits and pieces of Harry Potter.

budz · 09-02-2004, 01:17 AM

I purchased the LOTR boxset, and not a single Harry Potter DVD,...

johnbosh · 09-02-2004, 01:20 AM

Scott McD · 09-02-2004, 01:20 AM

Still not seen any Harry Potter movies, or LOTR movies...

2XY · 09-02-2004, 01:20 AM

LOTR....although I like Harry Potter too!

SykkBoy · 09-02-2004, 01:43 AM

as for the books, I've never read an LOTR book....so, the vote would go to Harry Potter, who after seeing the LOTR movies would seem to have been inspored by some of Tolkien's writings

with the movies, I've really loved both series and they both hold special places in my DVD collection...it would be like choosing a favorite child....

reynold · 09-02-2004, 01:51 AM

Harry Potter!

Project-Shadow · 09-02-2004, 03:17 AM

No brainer.. Harry Potter!.. not.
LOTR 4 Lyf3!

Mr. Mojo Risin · 09-02-2004, 03:18 AM

Harry Potter is kinda kiddy, so I vote LOTR

Goose · 09-02-2004, 03:20 AM

LOTR isn't even worth being compared with crap like Potter...
I don't understand the hype about this childish story anyway.

You sure you haven't got that the wrong way around?

And...both for different reasons (books that is). They're completely different things and don't really hold up to comparison.

If talking about films then LOTR winds hands down but the Potter films are still more than watchable.

Silvebarbe · 09-02-2004, 03:27 AM

LOTR but I must say that I love the last movie of Harry Potter and read all the books.

Mr. Marks · 09-02-2004, 04:07 AM

I still don't fucking understand why Harry Potter became such a fucking hit.

excitica · 09-02-2004, 04:12 AM

LOTR - I love it!

strats · 09-02-2004, 04:35 AM

I go for stfu - o wait. nono, smeegol definetly takes the cake

BigPinPin · 09-02-2004, 04:36 AM

LOTR !!!!

Because people are dumb...

Bansheelinks · 09-02-2004, 04:52 AM

what a question............LOTR=only the best trilogy ever!

ramtar · 09-02-2004, 05:01 AM

Lord of the Rings kick ass what an awesome trilogy, Harry Potter is good but not even close to LOTR

Downtime · 09-02-2004, 05:19 AM

LOTR, no contest!

Lykos · 09-02-2004, 06:50 AM

Can't really decide,bouth series were great to watch and hardly wait for new

sherie · 09-02-2004, 07:37 AM

LOTR hands down!

hova · 09-02-2004, 08:42 AM

LOTR fuck that potter homo

HammerALL · 09-02-2004, 09:18 AM

Again - this is not really a good duo to compare. They belong in two distinct categories. But if I had to choose - it would be Lord of the Rings even though I did enjoy the Harry Potter series.

Tom_PMs · 09-02-2004, 09:23 AM

The Lord of the Rings story is the most read story in history next to the various versions of the Holy Bible.

Harry Potter.. well I've always looked at it as more of a childrens book series. I've seen the first movie when it got to commercial TV, and it was ok. But really aimed at children. Entertaining enough I guess. Not compelled to read the books though.

MR2raymond · 09-02-2004, 09:25 AM

LOTR!!!!

........and the movies, especially ROTK, were works of art. I enjoyed HP on just an entertainment value level, but, hey compared to LOTR? Not a chance.

Sarah_Jayne · 09-02-2004, 10:45 AM

LOTR in general but they are really two different types of movies that get thrown together because of when they both first came out.

Bansheelinks · 09-02-2004, 07:13 PM

looks like LOTR in a landslide

TweetyBird · 09-02-2004, 07:25 PM

Lord of the Rings, anytime.

Yeah the movies are really nicely done.. Plus the bonus materials on the collectors DVD's is great stuff. The statuettes are cool too, lol.

quincy · 09-03-2004, 07:55 AM

LOTR..no question about it.
but i also kinda like the harry potter movies and book series.

the only prob i have with the LOTR trilogy is they didnt stick with the original story and had to chop a lot of good part in the book which should explain a lot of what happned in the movie, unlike in the HP movie where the director demanded that he wont do the movie unless the script remains faithful to the book (although in the latest HP movie, they also missed some vital scenes). Tolkien btw didnt intend for the LOTR to be a trilogy, but because of the length of the story, the publishet thought it's unwise and not economical to publish all 3 volumes in a single book. For those of you who had the patience to read the LOTR, i recommend reading The Silamrillion and The Unfinished Tales ^^

Bansheelinks · 09-03-2004, 09:07 AM

In case you may not know, a great website for LOTR is

http://www.theonering.net

It details upcoming dvd's, specials, events, literature, message boards, etc etc regarding the LOTR. Check it out if you haven't yet.

zzgundamnzz · 09-03-2004, 09:10 AM

I would say Lord of the Rings. Been reading LOTR and the Hobbit since I was a kid.

I say its better to read about a midget with a magic ring than some nerdy kid who does magic.

Manowar · 09-03-2004, 09:15 AM

Dont really like either, but LOTR is better.

macho · 09-03-2004, 09:17 AM

I got for Lord of the Rings!

Tom_PMs · 09-03-2004, 09:21 AM

Yes of course the Silmarillion. Get the backstory to the Palantir, hehehe. Cool stories in there.

slickcashlisa · 09-03-2004, 09:24 AM

Lord of The Rings 1 Trillion Percent

phpslave · 09-03-2004, 09:26 AM

Not even on the same level, LOTR !!!

Vitasoy · 09-03-2004, 09:33 AM

From those two, I perfer LoTR

Jamdin · 09-03-2004, 11:02 AM

I like both
