As far as the books go, I'm for LOTR all the way - even if I don't particularly like reading the books, as they're a bit dry. He didn't construct just a story. He built a world. If you look up the histories behind his writings, how much he built onto his books, and just layers upon layers of plot in his novel, there's no contest between who has the best story. Would I prefer to read the Harry Potter books? Yes, I would. They're more enjoyable to read, I think. But Lord of the Rings has my vote, because there's so much more of everything.
The movies, it's a hard choice. >> Because I love both so much. I might say it's the Harry Potter movies, because they're seem a bit more personal and up close to the characters, as well as having one of my fave female characters of all. But the movies of LOTR are so amazing, so well done, and gosh, I love those horses and intense action scenes. Can't you hear the horns of Rohan coming in for the charge? So perhaps the movies have my vote, too. There's just so much... more.
