Lord of the Rings!

 

[Escorpiius]

Well, I really like LotR but Harry Potter is one of my all-time fav )if not fav)!

Harry Potter took me to whole new world while I'm readin it (something that I never acchieved with LotR)! Harry Potter is an awesome creation!

 

[Yüme1]

Neither lol.

just a question to those who just state they love harry potter more with out any explanation... have any of you read lord of the rings? or the hobbit? or the silmarillion? or the lay of beleriand? or the children of hurin? any of the lost tales? the lost road? the peoples of middle earth?..... need i go on? the works of tolkein far outmatch jk rowlings heavily plagerised and half assed attempt at a fantasy novel U_U

Eh, show me the plagirism.

I'm gonna be honest... I tried reading LOTR when I was in 5th grade, (Like 6 yrs ago), and it looked so intimidating... needless to say there were atleast 500 words on every page, multiply that at minimum a thousand pages per book (Min)... lmao. So i never had the patience. Also, i tried watching the movie a few years back, but i found it somewhat confusing.

I've been heavly exposed to HP... why it's basically new, and i've grown up through its development, pretty much i'm assuming like everyone else.

LOTR has been around a LONG time, and is no doubt an extensive series.

Comparing the 2 is ridiculous... Plus many ppl don't have time/patience to read LOTR because of the sheer number of pages the book is.

I don't like Star Wars btw, lol even though this has nothing to do with it.

 

[~M.Hawk~]

Lord of the rings and Harry potter two different stores but the best one is the Lord of the Rings

 

[Olorin]

i like harry potter

but you cant compare that kind of a book to an epic work like the lord of the rings, it has a whole mythology behind the story, and without reading all of Tolkiens work (not only books) only than can you understand the complexity of the storyline

the book is not confusing and i love the style tolkien uses

and if u havent seen the epic trilogy you have been missing out, it is like the perfect movie, perfect story, beutyful landscape, good cast, ...

 

[Olorin]

i like HP but compared to lotr is like comparing snow white to peace and war

 

[Ryūjin]

How about both lol

 

[knots23]

I like LoTR..and for Harry Potter i found it as gay =)

 

[Cam]

People are going to like HP more coz it's easier to read and to understand, but LotR is the ultimate fantasy classic of them all where HP can't even compare. So for the smarter people LotR for those who just want to read plainly then HP

 

[Anduril]

I think if we go by the most entertaining one i would say that is a race harry potter would win for the magical and the world that we are living in have been perfectly blended by the master of story telling............
Whereas if u say the most beautiful creation i would say it is LOTR the depth to which J.R.R has gone into the lives of the races of the elves humans dwarfs and the hobbits is just awesome!!
There u go they cannot be compare the best fantasy books of two differen eras

 

[Jazzy..]

I can't choose between LotR and Harry Potter
They are both awesome and have amazing storylines...I just can't choose...

 

[Inch]

Books: Harry Potter
Movies: Lord of the Rings
Overall: Harry Potter

Re: Lord of the rings or Harry Poter

What she says. You're comparing HP which is, how you twist or turn it, just to amuse people with a story that tries blend in to the normal world, which is completely impossible.

While LOTR is a completely different history. Hp was written almost on a whim in a relatively short time. Tolkien worked his entire life on the history of LOTR. He made a history of more than 10 000 years with its own languages, cities, myths, legends, songs etc.

HP is fun to read and easier to understand than LOTR and if you just want to read, yes then you should read HP. However beyond all doubt LOTR is better. To put it simple HP is down to earth, while LOTR has an almost divine status.

couldnt have said it myself

 

[adams30]

i read both and i appreciate harry potter over lord of the ring(which is better as movie)

 

[missing]

lord of the rings

 

[Wherewolf]

Which do you prefer ? I just want to check which is the better book acording to narutobase members . Thanks for reading my post

I prefer Harry Potter as I could actually connect with Rowling's work but they shouldn't be compared imo. I still like LOTR movies to HP movies >.>

 

[Oblivion]

if i ever was forced to read or watch one of those two, i'd choose Lord of the rings!
