Lord of the Rings vs Harry Potter

1. Setting & World - LOTR - Sorry, while Hogwarts is a much loved place, their is no comparison between London and the rich world of J.R.R. Tolkien.

2. Characters - Harry Potter - While we all love the familiar faces of LOTR, Harry Potter characters are much easier to understand and more relatable while reading about them.

3. Cultural Influence - LOTR - This is a hard one, because a whole section of Universal Studios was opened in honor of Harry Potter, but our favorite wizards and witches probably would not exist without the earlier works of Tolkien.

4. Entertainment - Harry Potter - While I love LOTR, many people will not find interest in the heavily descriptive writing in it, and prefer the constant action and mystery in the HP Series.

5. Cinematic Universe - LOTR - I don’t think I even need to say anything about this. It’s like LOTR was meant to be on screen.

6. Literary Legacy - LOTR - LOTR definitely is not one of the random books about some kids saving the world that you just walk right by while in Books-A-Million.

Overall: While the Harry Potter fan community has greatly grown over time, LOTR wins as a story and world.

LOTR if we're including the silmarilian and other cannon works. It's on a much more epic scale.

Ehh, I've always preferred Harry Potter though I really like LOTR.

Bump

Harry Potter

I am unfortunately not allowed to read any of the Harry Potter books due to my paranoid mother. I was only able to see one of the movies before my mom branded Harry Potter as demonic. All that to say, I'm not allowed to watch or read Harry Potter, so I can't judge.

That's kinda messed up lowkey

this

Harry Potter by a mile in all aspects

LotR stomps pretty much every round except characters, which is debatable.

5.overall what is your favorite

Lord of the Rings

Harry Potter.

Tolkien universe is far more interesting.

Let me preface this by saying I never got into the HP books and I couldn't get past Fellowship, so I'm just talking about the films here.

LotR is better in most aspects, but I didn't find the characters interesting or relatable, and I honestly hate the Aragorn-Arwen relationship. She's such a boring-ass, milktoast character, and nothing more than a cliche of what women were supposed to be in the time of writing.

I like the characters of HP more, and Voldemort is a way more interesting and charismatic villain than Sauron ever was, but overall LotR is still the superior series.

Tell that too my hyperfanatic mom lol.

Why must you do this? stalemate I love both of these films

Happy Potter 10000%...I never could get into LotR. I used to fall asleep on it soooo many times...
