(...) It could be worse-- you could be John Neal and I could have sent you the latest Hillary book! :D (...) No, just read it so we don't have to be subjected to any more LOTR/HP compare and contrast posts. Heck, read it as a study in popular (...)

Now I will feel obliged to either read it and give you my honest opinion of the text or sell it and buy you some lego with the proceeds. Hmph! (...)

(...) Depends on your criteria. Harry Potter is clearly a greater work as far as literacy is concerned, because kids who have had no interest in ready books (shame on them) have suddenly found something to inspire them to do so (even the kid who (...)

(...) I like Tolkien's general storyline (and this is why I do enjoy the films so far), but I dislike his storytelling style. Frankly, I think he needed a very good editor, and then to listen to that editor very carefully. I'm almost done with the (...) (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, FTX)

(...) The Harry Potter books are easier reading than Tolkien (I'm already done with The Order of the Phoenix). I would say LOTR is the greater work while the Potter books are more accessible. -->Bruce<-- (21 years ago, 25-Jun-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, FTX)

LOTR is written in a very classical manner (part of the reason why it's accepted as a great literary work instead of tossed in a pile with every other fantasy novel). Part of the big problem with reading it (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, FTX)

So Dudley croaks, right? Just curious, I've never read an HP book and I doubt I ever shall since it's killing me to slog through LOTR (which I presume is better overall, but I could be wrong). -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 19-Jun-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, FTX)
