It's just your imagination. ;)

Well, actually you've asked two questions. Is the line better? (as in are
the sets better designed?) Or, are the pieces in one line of sets cooler
than in the other.
The Harry Potter sets may have cooler pieces but surely that's all they
have. The Star Wars sets were keenly true to the movie and looked like what
they were supposed to look like. The Harry Potter stuff looks neither like
what I imagine from having read the original book, nor from what appears in
the new movie.
The Harry Potter pieces may be cooler, but cool pieces do not cool sets make.
The Star Wars line had both cool and unique pieces, but more importantly...
traditional LEGO bricks and plates! And in good quantities and in
interesting new colors.

Depends... are you just rating the sets on just the minifigs? If so, you
may have a point. But if it's on the whole design of the sets, my vote will
go to the Star Wars line.

To me the trailer is as big an attraction as the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)
