Re: Re:gad zooks!!!!

It could be argued that Frodo had a perfectly good interest in 'going to save people he didn't know': if Sauron got the Ring, he'd be dead/enslaved, too.

But, moving right along...

I can't quite see what you're trying to argue. Are you saying that Harry Potter is inferior in quality, or morally inferior, or both? How is this related to Tolkien? Is it just that you prefer Tolkien's works, or do you think there's some element of Rowling 'mocking' Tolkien?
