I loved the Chronicles of Narnia! But they didn't seem as real as HP and lotr did to me! My favorite one is The Magicians Nephew! What do you think made lotr and Narnia more real for you, was it the books, or all the hype around HP?

I get what Shadowfax and Gwaimir Windgem are saying. For me, I think it was how Middle Earth had a history, and languages, and races, and it would just suck you in And all the suspence and action and it would make you cry if one of them died(I didn't but it really made me sad). The one I own is a tripple combination(all three in one) So I don't think the suspence was killing me as much as it would people with FotR, TTT and RotK seperetly; I wonder what it feels like.
I Love LotR it is so cool

Although I liked the Harry Potter series, there were many things about them I didn't like. For example, the commonly accepted attitude by Snoodies about Muggles. I also really hated the idea of bullies living and working with a bunch of other ambitious bullies (Slytherin), and thus not having as much of a chance to become better people. I knew someone who acted almost exactly like Malfoy when he was eleven, but has done some growing up since then and is now a nice guy. But he himself has said that if his bullying had been supported by parents and peers, it would have been much harder to "grow up." |

Ya... I don't know why but it really bugs me when I see people with copies of lotr that have movie pictures on them. Especially the picture of the ringwraith siluetted (sp?) against a bright blue sky... all my friends think that I am just being stuck up about it becasue ussualy I don't like movies that were once books first. I like my set of three books. I have a copie of the Hobbit that matches.

I wouldn't say it BOTHERS me; fills me with murderous rage, yes, but not bothers me.

But you're right, it would be hard to picture Hogwarts without Slytherin... Third thing that really gets me: House-Elves. Yes, I would be like Hermione there, leading the cause that few others would join. |

I don't like it either (the movie cover books) don't know why.
Silverstripe I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!!!!! Me, I'm with Hagrid; Why stop some one doing somthing they like that won't harm others? That would be like telling me that I wasen't aloud to read; If you were to stop me from reading I would Be a broken person... And I am sure that is how the house elves would feel. Quote:

Not 100% of people like reading, either. How do you think they'd feel if we forced them to constantly read to others -- people they may not even choose -- simply because a lot of people liked to read to others? Quote:
And even some of the fairly good guys calmly accept that of course magicals are simply better than muggles... I like the books, but that is probably my biggest complaint with the series. |
