I can't really comment on the HP books (not having read them), but of the two sets of films, only one lot actually sent me to sleep..... (anyone who guesses which films I voted for gets a virtual cookie ) |

I vote the first one too ^^ It almost put me to sleep, though I kinda liked the second and I loved all the books.
Lord Of the Rings wins hands down. I can't see how you can compare them.

*hands Kingleby a virtual cookie*
In my opinion they were foolish to release HP at the same time as Lord of the Rings. Each of the LotR films has been considerably the superior of it's HP rival (and lets face it they were comercial rivals at the start) cutting into potential profits and fan base. And starting a certain sense of rivalry between supporters of LotR and HP. Still I expect they'll be making HP's for a long time to come.

Well, considering the audiences they are aimed at, I don't see how they can seriously compete. Harry Potter is more kid-aimed, Harry was what, 11, when the book started? And the anual release of each new section allows Harry to grow up with the kids who had been reading it since the begining.
LotR is for older audiences, and though my 11 year-old sister loves it, she can't sit through the books. Harry is about kids and discovery and finding who one is through trial and error while Frodo and the fellowship is about finding ones strength through frineds and inner determination and such.
I agree that LotR is superior, but if I were to ask my sister, she would vote HP.
