I am not biased in this I love them both.
Its going to be hard to compare the two greatest books and movie series ever made. Although I will try anyway!
MOVIES
1. Grossing- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made 1.328 Billion Dollars. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King made 1.119 Billion Dollars. Potter wins this round!
2. Scenes- Harry Potter had really great scenes. Such as the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in the OotP or the Battle of Hogwarts in the DH. LotR also has great scenes such as the battle of Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields, and when Frodo throws in the ring. I think I'm going to have to give it to LotR just for the shear magnitude and epicness of it all.
3. Acting- Both movies cast gave it there all. I could always feel there emotion. I cried with them, laughed with them, and made the journey with them. I'm going to say its a tie between them!
BOOKS.
1.Creativity- JKR created a secret society and carefully placed it into ours. She brought back old legends and created new ones. She made us believe in magic, which was a great feat. But JRR created an ENTIRE world. He made languages, histories, secrets, treasures, creatures, and all from one line he wrote on a blank paper. "In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit". I'm going to go with JRR on this one.
2. Writing- Both books have excellent writing. Its pretty hard to compare them, I could only think of one thing. Description. JRR was sometimes a little over descriptive. It sometimes made it harder to keep reading for me. But JKR gives us just the amount of information we need at that moment. I'm going to give this to JKR.
3. Character Development- These authors did very well with character development. At the beginning of Harry Potter, Harry is just this naïve little troublemaker with a knack for dangerous situations. But as he matures he learns of his destiny to destroy Voldemort, and when he finally fulfills that destiny, he gets the happiness and peace he never had as a child. While in the beginning of LotR Frodo is a carefree, funloving Hobbit. But as he journeys out through his dangerous quest he has to fight against Gollum and the rings corruption, and the evil of Sauron. When he finally casts the ring in the fire he is a changed hobbit, his old self was left on the journey. Both authors display this almost perfectly so it is a tie
In my eyes they tie for both movies and books. You may have different views but one thing you cant deny is that these will be a part of us forever and to future generations.
