Personally when I do have kids and they are old enough to read well I will give them the Hobbit before even thinking about Harry Potter.<P>As for the movies. The FOTR blew away HP as a movie experience. It also brought middle-earth ro people who had no idea what they were missing. My dad, my brother and some friends are just a few I know. I know many who went out and bought the books because they couldn't stand waiting to see what happened. And based on that Id say there will be a lot more people going to see the Two Towers than the Fellowship. Most of my friends had no clue what it was a year ago today and now all they tell me is I can't wait for the next movie to come out.<P>For that alone Id say the FOTR blew away Harry Potter.
