well,for sheer complexity,LoTR is the way to go.In this case though,I don't care.I love stories with strong caracter development,where its foucused on the caracter,so i go with HP.I think LoTh is great and all,but its all story-baced.Wther book or movie,some of the original 9 don't even say 10 words to echother,thats just annoying.Thats just me though,a regular caracter junkie.So its HP for me

Opinion is opinion

I love stories with strong caracter development

So do I, and imho there are numerous great characters in LoTR, though some of them are rather in the background - I don't think they have to chat endlessly to have character development.

I think LoTh is great and all,but its all story-baced

Actually it's mostly language-based 😂

But I'm glad that it isn't based on a single important and somehow special character because that's usually imo rather boring; LoTR is built on millenium-old (hi)story and development of the whole world; you're right, it's based on a world, not on a person.

grrr *bashes Exa*

you..... weren't....... supposed....... to........ agree.......... 😛

i dunno both include magic.darkness. so really in the own differnt ways they are good which makes it really hard to decide

😆

I do not have to do what I'm supposed to do, do I 😉

I didn't agree with the opinion,
Just with the fact that LoTR isn't based on a single hero-character
but on cooperation, friendship, a world.

thats so true .... but the movie does depend on frodo get the ring destroyed and harry potter just seems to have new probablms every yr

I think I may have to change the title to something less catchy... it is not a CONTEST but a COMPARISON... LotR and HP are both excellent, in my opinion...

btw, what is this LotH business? What on earth does H stand for? its not even near R on the keyboard...

lord of the (t)hings

obvously so one trying to type fast and not being able to do it

They both copied very old hat mythological themes but in different ways. There is no sign whatsoever that JKR copied Tolkein.

Cute guys doesn't make a movie good. And if that is the only thing you have to support HP then that is sad (not trying to insult you). LOTR's has more action, a better plot, and it is lengthier than HP, and the actors have more experience than the trio

PLOT SUMMARY: A dark wizard comes to power and threatens the world. He is then over come by an unlikely foe, looses his body, and his spirit hides in the forest. Years later, a young hero comes of age and realizes taht he, and he alone has the ability to stop this terrible threat. His best chance of doing so is to prevent the dark wizard from retrieving a small trinket that will return him to power.

Which series did I just summarize?? Can you tell??

There is no question JK copied JRRT. The question worth asking is "Does it matter?" She has written undeniably wonderful books. Who cares that she coppied someone.

because it conflicts with one's creativity

tru dat.

harry potter is sooo enjoyable though!
