Lord of the rings.

It is a visual documentary about the middle earth.

Don't try to compare LOTR visuals with the Harry Potter visuals.

Emma Watson...MMPH

Makes it a tough choice.  I love LOTR better, but good god that girls is made of the stuff of my dreams.

Still, LOTR wins for enjoyability.  Don't get me wrong, Harry Potter is a fantastic series, it just lacks the incredible action scenes of epic size.  No wizzy fizzly things flying around to hurt each other, just swords and some seriously awesome wizardry.

Woow i choose lord of the rings, harry potter is just for kids.

Lord of the rings, Harry is for children, real men watch LOTR

Alright, so I'm a guy with a sensitive side, despite the fact that I don't show it very often. I like Harry Potter and I remember when the first book came out when I was in high school. I couldn't put it down.

my vote go  to harry potter

I have only watched Harry potter and liked it so I have no choice except vote for it.

lord of the rings of course!

Lord of the Rings

That's really not a fair comparison. I like both series, but I don't compare them to each other, because they are too different. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was written for adults, the Harry Potter series is, at its core, a children's series. I would also argue that Rowling created a very complete universe

Lord of Rings is far better. Better story, acting, action, scenery, etc...

potter is so gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do guys like it? What are you? 12 years old?

My vote goes to lord of the rings. A perfect movie of all time.

Lord Of The Rings is the better one out of the two for me

Both are fantastic.

Harry Potter has some really good advice for kids:

The mirror of Erised: Totally applicable here in bitcoinland.
Using your intelligence in order to solve problems.
Be kind to others
An examination of slavery
Don't eat like a pig, or you're like to turn into a pig (Dudley)
An examination of Depression (with the Dementors).
Betrayal, fairness and forgiveness (with Peter Pedigrew)
Twisting of the facts and journalism, with the bitch reporter
Corrupt authority figures.
Racism and Elitism (the Malfoys)
Ethical treatment of animals (without being preachy)
And a lot of drama between characters.

The list goes on.

Harry Potter loses a lot of points (IMO) for not being honest with use of source material that has been copied and pasted into the saga. Sure you can use all these Ancient Greek mythical creatures but at least say something about them being Greek! So it goes for everything else that is not original but has been pasted into this Saga.



The HP series is much more intelligent than it gets credit for. Meanwhile, the Lord of the rings is basically fight-scene porn (a good thing) interspersed with an amazing fictional world and story.

I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Lord of the rings has slightly better visuals (IMO) than Harry Potter. But HP also has amazing visuals (with the exception of the first movie).

I gotta say, Gandalf that old wizard dude knows how to enjoy a good smoke. He has this kick-ass pipe, man. I'd really like to know, what he smokes! Gotta be some special wizard stuff, ya know!

I was asking about the movie not the books.
You telling me LOTR lacked story development, watch it again.. maybe you'll change your opinion. I know its a long 15 hour movie [going through all the parts] but well worth it.

25.4% still thinks that HP is better than LOTR so I can compare.
And have enough reasons to compare movies ,like there are few characters in both the movies which are similar to each other. I'm not comparing books here as neither of the movie does any justice to books, if you'll read LOTR you'll realize there is so much difference b/w Character in the movie and the book itself.

I like action, my vote goes to Lord of the Rings.

I think a lot of this question should have been based on the movies/or books.  I personally didn't enjoy the lord of the ring movies...they were sort of boring and lacked story development, explanations, and character development.

I never read the books so I am not sure how it compares to Harry Potter.
