The Harry Potter thing is really easy to counteract. They'll feel really quite stupid when you tell them that not only were the books written about 50 years before HP, but that all three LotR movies were filmed before HP, even though HP comes out a month before. (That is so unfair! Why make LotR look copy-catish in the wake of something that is really copying LotR? Ahhhhh!)<P>I, luckily, have no friends. Aha. Just kidding. But I've never encountered people who hate LotR. I know people who are uninterested in fantasy...and what can you do about that? Oh well.
