<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Both do appeal to different age groups. Harry Potter obviously for the younger, and LotR for the older people. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The new HP movie scared all the kids that were in the theater with me though...the girl in front of me (who was bout 6 or 7) started <I>screaming</I> at the Whomping Willow and then cried on-and-off for the rest of the movie. I would have been petrified if I had seen it when I was young. The books, on the other hand, yes, are written for younger people, but I know adults who avidly read them and devote themselves to Wizards' Studies (yes, they're weird, but oh well, so am I).<P>And, the best part of the Harry Potter movies for me is still Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood)...but it still have nothing to Lord of the Rings.<P>Book-wise, LotR and HP are not even in the same category. The writing style of LotR is far superior, I believe.<P>And I'm 15, by the way, so the age thing doesn't really work...
