Aeneid's a story right? First I'd like to finish the Iliad/Odyssey 1000-page book that I have.
I've forgotten if the Aeneid's a story because I haven't study the Greek since last year or so.

The Aeneid is a Roman story but in the same continuity as the Odyssey; it's about a Trojan Prince.
Is there muich point in changing the poll, Cermiestar? It's closed, all done and dusted.

You can't compare the two. HARRY POTTER is meant for kids between the ages of 8 and 13. LOTR is for teens and adults. Theres a difference.
but I really enjoyed them both. I have no problem.
Christ!!! The food in HP was driving me MAD!!!! I wanted to jump in the movie just to eat the food on the dang tables!!! ARGH!!!

Mauls women i get what your saying but i read LOTR at 10. this thread is just kind of poking fun at the similarities and despite what it might sound like i think from previous posts i think that both are great especially considering they are getting kids to read more. you are right when your talking about the movies though (maybe thats what you meant) LOTR might scare youngins.

I'm not saying it will scare them. I'm saying that LOTR is on a more advanced level than HARRY POTTER. This is a mythic tale mainly compared to HARRY POTTER and its on more of an adult level.

Yes. I am 8-13. (Note the sarcasm...)
And I read Lotr when i was 7, so therfore, kids enjoy lotr, and teens/adults enjoy harrypotter!!
ALL books, and I mean ALL, are based at least vaguely on an existing story/poem/idea etc. POSSIBLY the first book EVER was original, but it was probably based on the Ug's Fairy Tales...
Feel free to yell at me if I am abusing sarcasm...

La la.
Firstly, Harry Potter is just a badly made kids movie. Please don't hurt me. But I think if you're going to make a movie out of harry Potter, they could have done it better ie. by not letting Chris Columbus do it.
Harry Potter is a good book sure, no doubnt about that one. But can you believe the EXTORSHINIST prices you now have to pay to get your hands on one of these books? The new one is costing £16.99 (I don't know how much that is in dollars) but all this stuff about getting kids to read more is bull. If the kids want to read more then the whole thing is just exploited by the publishing companies. £16.99! She's a bloody billionaire anyway! Nearly every kid in Britain is going to have one. When kids find a book they want to read their parents just end up being exploited. That really isn't what the point of this thread is about but I just had to have a rant about that.
Any opinions anyone?

Ahh, well, if you want to talk Harry Potter and nothing else, then it is best done in the Harry Potter area, I think!

Tolkien didn't write the epic with children in mind per se. But neither did Frank Herbert, but there are some kids who can appreciate the stories to a degree.
