Harry Potter Vs Lord of the Rings

[soltan]

I voted for Lord of the Rings its worth watching movie.

[azguard]

Myself better is LOTR but my kids like more Harry Potter

I will no submit vote cuz no booth in selection.

[medUSA]

both of the series mentioned above has many similarities b/w them .
I'm not talking about Books here I'm talking about the Movie series.

My vote goes to Lord of the Rings  

It doesn't matter which series you like more, go and read their books. There are so many plots and side stories missed out in the adaptations.

 It's not fair to compare the greatest fantasy movie of all time to a movie where some kids with magical powers are jiggling with their wooden sticks... lol just kidding, absolutely love both of these series

The Lord of the Rings universe is huge and character background is extremely detailed. The films are impressive BUT not very appealing to all age groups and genders. Harry Potter far more enjoyable to the general cinema goers, I could imagine grand parents taking kids to the cinema to watch Harry Potter and not Lord of the Rings.

All in all, my vote goes to Lord of the Rings

Its hard to put all plots and side stories in a 3hour movie..! but they did it in both the movies to best possible level..! although they are lil messed up when compared to books but still the best efforts ..

The statement after " lol " that is "just kidding, absolutely love both of these series " was smart move .Nice way to avoid conflict

LOTR: written by a brilliant academic. History is in a rich and inovative universe, deeply worked(he even made languages for the world). Universe based on european myths, with very in deep messages, especially if you are christian. Well written and descritibe, what gives substance to the world and to the history and makes many people says it is too boring because it is so descritive. One of the greatest books written in english


Harry Potter: writter without any relevant real world work in any area, self-contraditory world, no inovations nor good absortion of cultural elements, characters not developed in depth, poor language for 12 yo people, and in some decades at most will be forgotten.


You really trying to campare them?

"I'm not talking about Books here I'm talking about the Movie series."
In my first post on this thread

Lord of the Rings is MUCH better than Harry Potter in every aspect except maybe protagonist... but you could make the argument that there is more than one protagonist. I mean there are about 3 to 4 different story lines I find that far more interesting that harry being the one and only protagonist .

[Recuperate]

Lord of the Rings anytime.

[Bagus23]

to be honest, i choose Lord of the Rings, although i like harry potter too.

[bryant.coleman]

I'll go for the Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter in my opinion is vastly over-hyped and overrated. I had never liked it. The kids might vote for Harry Potter, but it is their choice.

Looks like we got a clear winner with Lord of the Rings  this just tells me that this community has a high Intellectual level

[psychospring]

LOTS was best for me then HP.

I think both of them are equal in their own right. They were written in different times, different environments and circumstances -both are great reads, but still unique in their style and meaning.

ok for once forget about the Books.. as they don't have any kind of comparison between them.. and talk about the Movie series..

[robstak]

Lord of the Rings is one the best fantasy movie I've ever watched, so much better than Harry Potter.

[lynn_402]

i went with lord of the rings because harry potter is to kiddy for me. i also hate how that main wizard guy, in the early movies at least, told the students not to do something. then harry potter and co. do it. the wizard guy then rewards them for breaking the rules, npnp.

But it's only a test, to see if they are willing to do the things they judge to be right, even at the risk of being punished! That's actually a great way to teach.

I voted for Lord of the Rings its worth watching movie.

You should try reading the books; even better

[davids]

Votte to LOTR

[danel]

Both movies are my favorite so I'll be neutral.
