That was, 2011, now nobody cares and has moved on to quality series, something you shamefully never developed into
Harry Potter's plot was retarded, Voldemort was a fail of a villain, the acting was meh at best, their "duelling" and "fight scenes" were boring as shit, most of the characters were terrible and there were no memorable moments at all
I don't give a shit about quantity of films or box office
Simple fact if the matter is Lord of the Rings simply had a far bigger impact on geek culture and given alot of fictional universes were based on Tolkien's books puts it above a preteen fad like Harry Potter which influenced, nothing
If you thing Harry Potter was anything as influential or popular or what have you as Lord of the Rings, then you should probably make a judgement when you're not consuming excessive amounts of magic mushrooms, like you are now
Completely false.

The money made off of these books, movies, parks, merchandising makes it a global phenomenon.

If nobody cared theme parks would not have been created and no new films would have been made. Potter films have made more than Lotr films. Suck it. The movies get obviously darker as the series progresses and deals with actual relatable moments unlike the lets have a great adventure with all these black and white characters. Potter was a series that had logic and common sense behind their magic whereas Lotr just makes shit up whenever they want to use it. Everyone can use spells and has access to the same magic but differs based off skill and expertise. In potter for no reason explained Gandalf just comes back to life.
Bullshit. Voldemort was a villain unlike Sauron who had no characterization other than a black and white completely evil guy who was devoid of a personality. Voldemort actually was in the series and wasn't dead throughout the climax of his series. Anyone could have played Sauron as he was a big guy in a suit who swung his mace. You're an idiot.
I am arguing about the films not the books. This is the movies versus you dumb shit. Quit citing the books in the movie versus just because you're unhappy with the fact Poter outperformed the Lotr at the box office.
You're the same clod that thinks Sauron as a villain was epic despite any big guy putting on a suit and swinging a mace or moving around. Dummy.
