compared to Harry Potter yes that is exactly what Im saying. the language is
more cumbersome, and Characters harder to relate to.

Im sure thats a major reason why NOT to do it, I would rather see more creative
color schemes and elements, than a castle revival. Plus they actually have a
Castle theme, which would be superceded by the tolkien sets Im sure. this way,
we may get harry potter AND more Castle sets. I was VERY surprised to hear
about the Harry Potter license, but I am very optimistic about the quality of
the sets.(maybe more purple pieces[lets see LOTR offer that!])

I think they will tie in strongly with the movie, not the book, but they might
have the secret magic shops in that hidden alley in london, and the biggest set
might be hogwarts( the school) but maybe, different sets will combine to make
the school(ie Tower, classroom, dorm) but who knows what will be in the movie.
