DISCLAIMER
I have NOT read ANY of the HP books. My beef in this post is to critique Aryana's debating style, not to burn JKR at the stake.
END DISCLAIMER
Aryana appears to have been a flame-thrower who sets a blaze and then sits back to watch the fireworks. But just in case Aryana is still following the thread:
You throw around a lot of big-sounding words to make yourself look intelligent and knowledgable, but calling Tolkien a "racist facist little old man" shows that you do not have the first clue what you are talking about, and probably don't have the first idea of the definition of "facism" without the aid of a dictionary.
The people who frequent this forum are usually (not always) very well read, intelligent folks, and they come here to make points or discuss ideas and possibilities. They DON'T come here to skewer and barbecue the others and then run off laughing like a deranged bomber, as you have done. That's the childish act of the 6-year-old who thinks it's funny to set a paper bag of dog-poop on fire at someone's door, ring the doorbell, and run away.
ONE PERSON, count 'em, ONE, said 'JKR go home', and you launch into a tirade about everyone who has posted on the thread, as if someone just stating "LOTR is a superior piece of literature over HP" is guilty of a capital crime.

u all better go home and do your homework before preaching about tolkien being the one god.

NOT ONE of us said that JRRT is the One God. It looks like there's someone else that needs to do the homework...

Sorry Aryana, that's a matter of opinion -- and most of the world disagrees with you. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was voted Book of the Century and Book of the Millenium, and has won more awards than the number of months you've been alive. His books continue to sell at an alarming rate, even before the movies came out.
JRRT wrote the books from the background of being a Christian man and one of the world's leading authorities on ancient languages and mythologies. JK Rowling wrote from the position of being a broke, unemployed mom who needed to make an income and studied books about modern day witchcraft to make her book more "accurate".
JRRT wrote about common folks in uncommon circumstances and exalted the quiet common life of the hobbits and the peaceful folk of Middle Earth. He wrote so little about "magic" in his books that you could leave it out in most places and still have an epic story. Having not read JKR, I can hardly speak to specifics, but it appears to me from all I've heard that magic is thrown around as somthing common (like for playing games of Quiddich). And it also seems that the ones who don't use magic are rather looked down upon, and given uncomplementary names like "muggles".

I guess JK Rowling must be a racist, becuase the ULTIMATE bad guy is called "the DARK LORD". You can't say that's a coincidence!!! George Lucas must be a racist too, because, well, look at DARTH VADER! The BAD GUY all dressed up in BLACK!! ROFL!!!
Aryana, you have some serious issues to work through, and you have my sympathy. You know, it's OK not to like LOTR and to love HP. It's OK to love LOTR and hate HP. It'a all a matter of opinion.
One final note. If you want to be taken seriously on this forum, you really should buy a dictionary and learn to use it. Your posts have the same grasp of spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar as the average parakeet.
