Back on the Harry Potter subject you know you're obsessed with LotR when you actually start to have a serious argument with a Potter fanatic over how much copying Rowling did of Tolkiens work.
I watched the film with my friends boyfriend and spent the whole thing pointing out all the copies (demetors - balck riders, whomping willow - ents, and so on) until he finally threatened to gag me if I didnt let him watch the film. Of course the second we got outside I was back onto it again, and he hasnt talked to me since!
So if you really want to annoy one of these Potter people just do that!

During the whole scene with Harry and Lupin in the woods (the third movie), you can't stop thinking Daniel looks just like a younger Elijah, and yes the Nazgul-dementor thing is rather annoying. Personally, I think Harry Potter is okay, but I LOVE LOTR, so don't worry.

I am a life-long LOTR nut!!

When watching Harry Potter with ten of your friends (no, not joking, we took up a whole row), you and the two other LotR fans (convieniently placed next to you) whisper about the correlations between the two. And when the Dementors come on the screen, you yell: "But there are only supposed to be nine!"

You need a hat. You buy a plain, tan baseball hat. Then you write "Frodo Lives!" on it.

You get a new cat, name it Turin. It won't respond to any commands. So, as a joke, you talk to it in Elvish. It begins to obey, but still doesn't know any English.

-You argue with your brother for 15 minutes that Link in "Zelda" is not really an Elf and in addition to that, all Elves that aren't Quendi aren't real Elves.

-Your LotR book (as well as the Hobbit, the Sil, UT...) never leaves your computer desk except to read them as a referance while you are on the computer.

When you are reading your history book and you come upon the words "Middle East" you mistake them for Middle Earth. Believe me, it happens...

All of your books are falling apart.

No joke, my Fellowship really is breaking up!
