Which is better Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?  |
|
 I have read the full series of both books and i find them both to be interesting. Movie-wise i think that these two are in different leagues. Lord of the Rings in my opinion has better actors(actresses), better action scenes, and just more well rounded. Yet when it comes to the books they are in a different league too. The Harry Potter books give me more of a I-need-to-finish-this-chapter-before-3-in-the-morning-cuz-i-have-to-go-to-school-at-seven feeling when compared to the Lord of the Rings books. Whenever i read the Lord of the Rings books i normally fall asleep during or just lose interest in like 10 minutes. What do you think?

| stickricky808 (51) | 3 years ago | well i'm guessing you're a bit older than me so you can appreciate that kind of writing. personally i think there is just too much detail in Tolkiens writing. But yes he is still a brilliant author | |

 JennyLeah (137) | 3 years ago |  I can appreciate that, but to be fair, Rowling was writing for a different audience. Rowling's books are written for young adults. Tolkien's are written with a more mature audience in mind. As Rowling's characters have grown up, so has the language in her writing. I think it was a conscious, artistic decision on her part that deserves some merit.
I love both story lines, so much, and I think they're both wonderfully written. They're in entirely different leagues, for a million reasons.
But yes, Harry Potter is the more juvenile of the two.;)

2.  renbace (239) | 3 years ago | you can't actually compare them.. like you said.. they are in different leagues.. the harry potter book series is way better than that of its movie...the movies are a let down to the books.. the books of harry potter are very fun and more climactic at every chapter.. there's always something going on... in lord of the rings trilogy(book) if you read the book first.. it is quite boring.. but after you watch the movie and read the book.. it just keeps getting better and better.. its like you know how this creature or character goes now.. so you wouldn't have a hard time reading over and over again just to visualize the character... but the movie was really nice... here are there main difference.. harry potter is a book of a hidden society on earth.. it makes it more fun because it can be just around the corner.. lord of the rings is a story of a whole different world... its middle earth.. that is why it can become a bit boring.. because the idea of another world means full detail..
for me.. i prefer lord of the rings movie(much easier.. but i have read the book and read it for two weeks.. couldn't get my eyes off it...heheh) and harry potter books.. not the movie.. i really think the movies sucked... | |

3.  DocterDew (587) | 3 years ago |  The lord of the rings book do have quite a few very very slow moving parts. It's got a lot of extra detail that after your a few hundred pages into the books your like dang that's to much. The harry potter books never caught my attention, 69 pages (yes 69) through the first book I decided to return it. The movies, I would say lord of the rings was way better. They had a better written story, better plot, and they acted it out the best, to amaze us most. The harry potter movies there seems to be a lot of bad acting. I guess that's what you get when you use magic that they have to add effects for, and when you use young unproffesional kids as your stars.

| 9. nayanmange (135) | 3 years ago |  I have not yet read the Lord of the Rings series but would like to do so after viewing the movies. Harry Potter is very interesting and you just don't want to stop reading. Though the 5th book was relatively the most boring, lets watch the movie and see how it fares.

| 10. rama108 (79) | 3 years ago |  Hi Stickricky, I am with you Though both the books are interesting, Rowling's I like the best. The way she describes every thing, her plotting things, very bite nail bits. Just can't leave the book until u finish. Enjoy every thing, HP has humour, thrill, everything is in exact amount. Totally the book is very well cooked food. Just right, she made even the witchcraft a noble job. Though I am an Indian, I felt like I am with HP, as if I adopted the culture. Actually I am mad after the book, you should believe even now I read and re-read the books from 1st one to the sixth one, and now I am very eager to get the seventh one.
Ha...at last there is some place where I can share my feelings about HP.
