Is everyone ready for this coming battle? I know they are not being released together, but they will undoubtably be compared against one another when they do arrive. Does anyone have an opinion now?
Also, can we stem the tide of merchandising which is about to engulf us linked to these films???

Thanks for that info! I'm sure it will prove invaluable over the coming months.
Just one question, is it really worth hating an entirely fictional character whom, if I may say, you probably don't know a thing about?
Try reading one of the books! If you don't enjoy it, thats fair enough. I will think no-less of you (believe me).

The merchandising potential behind Harry Potter, and the prospect of up to seven sequels (J.K. Rowling wrote seven books didn't she?) outweighs that of LOTR, where there are only another two films in the pipeline, and is not such a commercially floggable commodity (LOTR lunchboxes won't be of such high demand as Potter ones for example).

Opps, also neglects the fact that there isn't a cats chance in hell that Harry Potter will have been forgotten in thirty years, as you imply.

Dangerous thing to say. Due to LOTR's accessibility issues, the film will replace reading the book. Harry Potter is mauch easier for young'uns to pick up and read so won't supper the same problems.

LOTR is being directed by Peter Jackson, if anyones interested. He hasn't done much of any repute. Before this, that is.
