Film: Lord of the Rings > Harry Potter
Books: Harry Potter> Lord of the Rings
I really enjoyed the hary Potter books, as they had an element of mystery to them, i.e. Harry and pals having to work out who did what, where something was, or generally getting to the bottom of some deep, dark secret. Most of the books were all very suspenseful, and I enjoyed that.
Snape was my favourite character, he was wickedly cruel to Harry and his comrades sometimes, and it made me laugh. He could have been really badass, but part of his characterisation (all the grief about losing (SPOILER)Lily held him back.

Lord Of The Rings, no contest.

You really shouldn't compare these two when they're so different.

Definitely Lord of the Rings both when it comes to the books and the movies. The Harry Potter books are still great, but the movies have all disappointed me on one level or another. LotR is just all-around fantasy goodness.
