I wouldnt actually completely diss the Harry Potter series. Rowling is a noble CHILDRENS writer and thats probably why the majority of you find it distasteful. I have read what there is of the Harry Potter series, and found them okay books to solve boredom on a rainy afternoon, but they are in the most part a book for a younger child. I dont see any comparison whatsoever between the Lord of the Rings series and the Harry Potter series. Lord of the RIngs is more in-depth and takes a bit of a more mature mind to understand it, after all, dear old Tolkien wrote it like it WAS history, and Rowling wrote all nice little bedtime stories full of magic and imagination. But Tolkien writes as though the magic and imagination in his story IS real.<P>Hehe...what a musing thought...imagine reading a little kid the seige of Gondor before tucking them in to bed...or the chapter of Mount Doom.....hehe yeah definetly not a bedtime story...
