Harry Potter or LoTR?

[Rocket Edge]

Which do you prefer? You could say that this is biased since the releases of Harry Potter recently both in film & book, but I believe your head can get around that fact, and that you can pick the one that you genuinely like more.

[Venom]

Dont like either. )=

Basing it on nothing but the books... Harry Potter is good, but Lord of the Rings is better.

[Garnie]

i love both but i prefure lotr because of the beauty tolkin put to that world!

[Psychotic]

Lord of the Rings by a long way. HP is good, LotR is great.

[Tavrobel]

LotR. Potter can't even compare.

[Nifleheim7]

Lord of the Rings of course.

Bah, you guys make me sick. Harry for me, i've been obsessed since 1997. The Harry Potter books are better writen and are more exciting (not including the first two though). The films however are a completely differant story.

That being said I do love LoTR as well, but HP takes the biscuit.

[Obsidian]

For me, HP has much more plot intrigue and LotR has a much bigger cool-factor.

[Ouch!]

I refuse to make a decision until I can bring myself to finish LotR. My friend told me everything that happened ages ago, and every time I try to pick it up now, it's like... what's the point?

That said, I respect LotR immensely for how it has revolutionized that fantasy genre. It pretty much defined the fantasy archetype (specifically it strengthened the Norse influence in modern fantasy).

Harry Potter is fun to read, and I enjoy it a whole lot, but it will never be able to define the genre as LotR has.

[Resha]

Lord of the Rings, hands down? I stopped comparing a long time ago.

[Araciel]

i never compared...they're incomparable you might say
LOTR FTUW

[Rye]

I enjoy Harry Potter more, because it's easier for me, but Lord of the Rings is just classic, Tolkein is the father of fantasy. LoTR by far.

[qwertysaur]

The wheel of time is better than both, to me at least.

Harry Potter. Never really been too much of a LotR fan.
