  1. MariPlayz What I'm saying is that based on the fact that HP has time travel and cheating death after being killed by Voldemort, even if the series continued, it would've gone too far as to taking almost no stakes, while in LOTR, you have to face what's happening and then move forward since time is limited. It's LOTR that more about us. HP may be this whole nearly-invincible, "dreamy," and "joyous" utopia that some people(even kids) WISH we were in, but LOTR is partly a reflection of the real world that we're ACTUALLY living in right now.

  2. MariPlayz But nobody in LOTR goes back in time or uses a resurrection stone. In LOTR, people deal with what's happening right in front of them and that is what makes it more connecting with real world dilemmas.

  3. MariPlayz Sure, there is the argument that the HP books have sold more than LOTR and was translated into more worldwide languages, but there also the argument of how much LOTR transcended pop culture long before the HP books came out(since the first didn't happen until '97). For example, if you listen closely to a few Led Zeppelin songs like "Misty Mountain Top" and "The Battle Of Evermore", they're clearly about Middle-Earth. Plus, in the show Stranger Things, which is set in the 1980s, they mention "Mirkwood" since Tolkien's books were already known as a huge part of pop culture. And yes, it's true that more people are more jazzed up about the latest Fantastic Beasts movie, but if you go up to any random stranger(even older ones) and say "You shall not pass" and "My precious", or even say now household names like Bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, and Gollum, they'll immediately know what you're talking about.

  5. MariPlayz When comes to LOTR vs HP on MAGIC, real easy: "In an event before existence called Ainulindalë, there was only the supreme being known as Eru Ilúvatar and his following spirits called the Ainur. Within their creation, Eä, the universe, layed the planet Arda, part of which would come to be known as Middle-Earth." We're talking about magic that can unmake the world; more reality and destroy souls utterly. Praise the darkness, y'know.

  6. MariPlayz When it comes to the peoples and races of the world, Middle-Earth is partly a reflection of us, different non-human nations of the world, based on the different races with their own different languages, cultures, and even religions because, again, it's a reflections of US. There's not really a whole lot of reflections of us in HP since it's mostly just character archetypes of the whole hero's journey story arc.

  8. The_Algae28 173 And as a lot of people said about Tolkien's Middle-Earth series,It's impossible to gauge the effect or mythology of these books on the genre.

  9. I heard that Bowie was the inventor of the music genre called "plastic soul." If I invented a new music genre,I would call it Glam-Pop.

  10. Perry's too sexually provocative and raunchy(like if she's trying to copy Madonna) compared to Swift who is at least more appropriate to the mainstream.Also,Swift is all nice and clean with no tattoos or body piercings.

  11. I vote for Frankenstein over Dracula because of 4 reasons 1)Dracula is somewhat boring to read.If you read Frankenstein,it's the kind of story that really gets you in the mood. 2)The concept is humanity messing with nature.In other words,the negative consequences of trying to play God. 3)It teaches an important lesson that scientific discovery isn't worth sacrificing your life for. 4)It was written by a 19-year-old girl.Most horror stories at the time were written by someone who was thirty or forty something.Plus,it proved that a female author CAN write a very gripping horror story.

  22. Lil A From The Fellowship Of The Ring: Frodo:I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf:So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Harry Potter,on the other hand,umm...: From The Prisoner Of Azkaban: Harry:Oh no,Buckbeak got chopped in half and the Dementors are gonna eat Sirius' soul! Hermoine:Oh, I have an idea! How about we cheat death and fix things with time travel? Harry:Umm....Okay! Plus,in The Deathly Hallows: Dumbledore:Hi,Harry! Welcome to white wizard heaven! I'm your game show host to give to two choices? Are you going to A)move on in the afterlife or B)go back to fix everything? Harry:Umm...I'll probably pick choice B. Dumberdore:Congraaaatulations for you've just won the game!

  25. This list is so stupid. This list is mostly female R&B and Hip Hop artists. This list deserves Girlschool,The Bangles,The Go Go's,and Vixen(don't put them on Honorable Mentions).

  31. I have to disagree with Battlestar Galactica. The original series was so special during its time and will forever remain in all our hearts and minds. The only reason people call the reboot "better" is because it's a boring military soap opera(the original series at least had a more fun, adventurous, and optimistic tone) and it's all sexed up. Didn't the producers realize that the franchise, in the very beginning, was created by a Mormon, since it had a lot of Mormon theology, and that Mormons don't believe in sex outside of marriage?

  32. I don’t care what anyone says. Rorschach was the only real badass and only true hero of Watchmen despite his violent qualities. Anyone agree?

  33. At least when the Middle-Earth characters get killed off they stay killed off(without any bull** cheatings like using a time turner to save Buckbeak form getting chopped and Harry coming back after being killed by Voldemort).

  34. Where's Phil Collins?

  35. Does anyone wanna know the only reason why we all liked Tobey Maguire back then? Because he was the only known Spiderman actor to like at the time until we waited years later for a perfect actor,Andrew Garfield (who grew up as a big Spidey-fan), to do the character justice! Think of it like the Avengers 1 and 2:Black Widow was every guy's crush until Scarlet Witch joined the team.

  38. Majencia I understood the story. But when you look at it now, it's basically a Star Wars clone. For example, who's our main character here? It's a young orphan boy(Luke Skywalker/Harry) who, for his own safety, has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle(Owen and Beru Lars/Vernon and Petunia Dursley), until a mysterious bearded stranger(Obi-Wan Kenobi/Hagrid), who's actually the one to deliver him to his aunt and uncle when he was a baby, comes into his life and starts to teach him about this ancient kind of magic(the Force/Wizardry). Granted, he's gonna learn a lot more about this magic from an older and wiser teacher(Yoda/Dumbledore). Regardless, his uncle is against this magic stuff and doesn't tell him what really happened to his parents. But against his uncle's wishes, he leaves home for the first time, makes new friends, and meets a pretty and intelligent young girl(Leia Organa/Hermione). And although there will be a non-sexual tension between the two of them, he will only love her like a sister while she's struggling with the feelings she has with his best friend who's the scruffy comic relief(Han Solo/Ron). And then he learns about the existence and connection he has of this bad guy(Darth Vader/Voldemort)who is said to have killed his parentage with his sorcerer ways(the Dark Side/Avada Kedavra) after changing his name to Lord-something. But it turns out that our hero is naturally good at flying(X-Wing/broomstick) and locating incredibly small targets(Womp Rats/Golden Snitch). Any comments?

  41. When it comes to the category of Magic, then definitely Middle-Earth wins for that. Why? Because the wizarding world has what happens to be man-made magic, based on constructed words and wands which happen to be carved from branches. Middle-Earth, on the other hand, has a god-like magic that can literally unmake the world, alter reality, and destroy souls utterly. It also seems to awaken a certain kind of spirituality, suggesting a belief in God without endorsing any specific religion. It happens to be an allegory of how we Christians believe that the only real magic comes from God himself.

  46. Hassan Abou El Ezz Harry Potter mostly explores magic. Lord Of The Rings explores on a whole lot more than just magic.
    1
  47. Hassan Abou El Ezz What I’m saying is that LOTR has a much larger world building based on the fact that Tolkien spent 30 years on creating his Middle-Earth mythology, not to mention that almost every single page is overloaded with so many tiny detail about the world while still keeping the storytelling and character development intact in a perfect balance. HP may have good storytelling and character development, but it kind of lacks the world building sometimes and the pacing gets too fast, which is probably due to the fact that Rowling was too busy rushing the books because of their growing popularity at the time.
