While I love the Harry Potter books, the movies absolutely suck. W/out question, LotR is the better of the two. I'll give one of the detailed breakdowns for which I'm famous() when I have more time

Why is this even a topic, of course LOTR is the winner. Harry Potter is a little kid movie while they have college classes on Tolkien's books. J.K. Rowling should just go back to her mansion and play with her elephants.

lol. Yeah lotr all the way. Harry Potter is just the book all over again on a screen. Whereas lotr recreates the atmosphere presented in the book, and stands up as a movie on its own. HP pales to compare.

Kay, here it is, the breakdown....
Who likes it
1. Harry Potter is liked by young children and teenage girls w/crushes on Daniel Radcliffe/Tom Felton/etc, etc.
2. Lord of the Rings is liked by pretty much everybody, except small children, fantasy-haters, and the dead. And I bet even the dead like it.
Why they're good
1. Harry Potter(HP) is based on a brilliant book series which has made the author richer than the Queen of England. It has heart, compelling characters, and witty British dialogue.
2. Lord of the Rings(LotR) is also based on a single book broken into three parts; a story that has captured the hearts of millions of Americans and more besides. The movies carry A-List actors, brilliant action sequences, a moving score, genius renderings of landscapes, flawless visual effects [WETA Workshop wrote two entirely new programs for the movies:MASSIVE(Multiple Agent SimulationS In Virtual Environment) and GRUNT(Guaranteed Rendering of Unlimited Numbers of Things)], and so much more unmentioned.
Why they're bad
1. HP, while they're good on their own, are rather pathetic and meager compared to the books. One can not help but compare the two (book and movie), and feel disappointed. They leave too much out from the books, the acting is wooden, the visual effects unspectacular and quite obvious at times.
2. LotR has far too many characters to keep track of (and more are added in RotK), and the dialogue is sluggish, even soporific, at times. The book to movie content is often so different that core fans are disappointed.
My feelings
1. LotR is far superior to HP. LotR is directed at a far larger audience, while HP only tries to attract young children who have not yet read the books, and therefore won't hate the movie, and teenage girls who don't really care b/c the guys are so d**n cute.
2. W/ some luck, HP will be better with Alfonso Cuaron helming The Prisoner of Azkaban. We can only hope

hmmm well lets think shall we:
1= Lord of the rings are number one for the BBC big read
2=the Movies so far have beaten the hp records even though the hp crew have placed the times it comes out differently from lord of the rings ever since the fellowship beat it's numbers and because lotr is great hp isn't coming out until next year ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
basically lotr rocks.

Oh well, i think that everyone knows the clear winner of this, do i even have to say it? for the people that don't get it... lotr... it's been around longer, it's more detailed, and truthfully i think that j k rowling got some of her ideas from lotr, once again lotr, no question about it.
