Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?

We've heard enough comparisons with Harry Potter vs Twilight to last us two lifetimes😆, so what do you say about Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings? I've never read Lord of the Rings, but I did read Hobbit, and it was a great book, but I can't say anything yet as I haven't read the whole series, but which do you guys prefer?

Hmmm I like both. While Harry Potter is a delight for all ages...young or old and the series grows up along with its protagonist, LOTR is for slightly mature readers.

It is adult fantasy genre.

can't choose

luv both of them and dumbles reminds me of gandalf😆

I like the Harry Potter books more. The LOTR are great novels but can be a bit tedious to read, which makes the Harry Potter series more likable as its a very easy read in comparison. However I do think that the books are worth the effort it takes to read them.

Harry Potter was the best for me. i started reading Lord of the Rings but lost interest and couldnt continue.

Storywise there are certain simalarities, however each series of books are unique in its own right.

On a side note, I like the LOTR movies much better than the Harry Potter movies. For the most part these movies stuck with the books.

Yeah, I heard from a lot of people that the Lord of the Rings movies were more faithful to the books than the Harry Potter movies were to their books.
