That's "Trekkies".

you cant compare HP and LOTR just because they have one main similarity. MAGIC! magic is in every fantasy book ever, but i dont see you all slaughtering other authours for using it.
There's no magic in Lord of the Rings. Gandalf's "magic" is equivalent to an archangel's powers. So, unless you think that (depending on your religion) God's servants use "magic", Tolkien is the only author who didn't use "magic" in his stories.

And, guys, lay off on the "stolen plot" thing....Tolkien created modern fantasy, so it's natural that every other modern fantasy story has Tolkien-istic elements in it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
