Okay, this may be old but Aryana, I don't hate you because you are right, I hate you because you are wrong. HP is good in its own right, we all understand that, but it will never ever come nearly as close to the complexity and in depthness of Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien also is not racist or facist. Sure he may have downplayed the role of women in his books but that is a result of the time period in which it was written.And what are you talking about with the maps looking like Europe? You're just asking for trouble there. The only reason that came to your mind is because you yourslef think that way. I have read all 4 of the HP books numerous times but because the story is so simple it can hardly compare to Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings explores the weaknesses and strengths of the human race using the Fellowship as a way of showing the different facets of man. And I hope you get mad. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
