Why would you? Everyone that does that pro-LotR anti-harry potter, say that HP rips off of LotR. Every single fantasy book after LotR has ripped off of LotR, it is the end all be all fantasy series. So any fantasy book will no matter what "rip-off" of it.

 

[Epcot is my fav]

how bout making it the other way around?

Or how about just acknowledging that both of them are endearingly rich fantasy epics from extremely fertile imaginations, one of them showcasing its world through complex, multilayered characters whose scope of experience is constantly expanding, and the other focusing on fictitious geography and history to show its thoroughness and depth?

Or to cut down on some wordiness here: They're different, but both really good. Crazy concept, I know.

Can I be in the Pro-Harry Potter and Mildly-Annoyed-With-But-Still-Likes-Lord of the Rings offshoot?

Harry Potter is a cult to control the world

I am pro HP and pro LOTR... so where does that put me?? I've read all the LOTR books, almost all the HP books, seen as many of the movies as are out right now.... and love them all! While you can pick out similarities, they are such totally different things. But both good, and both have their place. :wave:

 

[darthdarrel]

Well I love both, but I like Lord of the rings much more!
But I read LOTR along time ago and I will not read Harry Potter books,cause the only authors that I read are Stephan King and Anne Rice!
