LOTR vs Harry Potter

Mellon! Harry Potter and LOTR aren't comparable.HP is a great story in its own right but hardly an epic and all-engrossing world like Tolkiens'.Still,I enjoyed reading JK Rowlings books as i do any fantasy tales. Tolkien has the ability to transorm us into a world TOTALLY and wish we were there or wish it were true. I have adopted Tolkien's work as my bible and find his work flawless which is more than can be said about the movie adaption! Yet Peter Jackson did a fine job of recreating Middle Earth and is commended as he has had to cram as much possible into a brief time while not losing less loyal viewers.We all wish for an unabridged version of the books ;one that would satisfy fanatics; and would hopefully run for 6 hours or more. Maybe then we would realise our visions of the Barrow Downs,Tom Bombadil, Goldberry and other key scenes missing from the meagre 3 hour presentation. While I'm here, do you have any ideas for me for a Middle Earth party I'm hosting next month?<I>null</I>
