    The Lord of the Rings, because the battle for Middle Earth was an epic battle involving the whole of that world. The saviour of that world was so small and insignificant, and so much rested upon him....the lives of entire armies. We doubted him because he was a hobbit....a creature of such small stature.....and unknown depth. The same was true in the Potter books....an individual was tasked with the destruction of the ultimate evil...but one always had the sense that Harry would win....that he was fated to win....and Harry was the model of a hero.

    I haven't read LOTR. I read the first four Harry Potter books when I was younger. based on that, I say LOTR.

    Plus, LOTR is classic and has been the inspiration for so much of what is nerd culture today.

    LOTR was written by a linguist who developed his own languages and creation myth. The world Tolkien created has far more depth. Harry Potter seems trite. If Rowling needed an explanation or a character she would just magically create them out of magic.

    The both movies are pretty good but from my oppinion LOTR because i am a medieval fan and the story was EPIC and its easy to watch when you want to relax after a hard day.

    Harry potter is an honest attempt to entertain by telling a story. Lord of the rings is vealed christian propiganda I knock off points for trying to slip people sick bull ****, hard to enjoy it.
