I enjoyed lord of the rings a lot more than harry potter because the story doesn't drag on for 5+ movies. Lord of the Rings, as long as the movies are, is just more engaging for my tastes.

it somewhat saddens me you said movie series over book series. if i had to pick i would say harry potter movies were better, but nothing beats lord of the rings in book series.

I was thinking about a combination of the two... It could have "Lord Harry" as the title.

I love to read, but I could not get into Lord of the Rings. not sure why. I have read and reread Harry Potter so many times I lost count. As for the movies, I do enjoy both. But I am somewhat obsessed with Harry Potter, in fact I almost cried when I saw the Harry Potter part of the park in Universal Studios in Florida. So, it is an easy choice for me~ HP!

The Lord of the Rings was my favorite of the two.  Especially the interactions between the dwarf and the elf.

I have never seen the Lord of the Rings movies, but I really enjoyed all of the Harry Potter movies.  The Harry Potter books were even better than the movies.

Harry Potter all the way. I haven't read all of the books for either but I've seen most of the movies and I prefer Harry Potter.

I like both,but wouldn't consider myself a die-hard fan of either.I'd take LotR over Harry Potter,I suppose.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

 wow!! this is a VERY tough question for me to answer since I like both all the Harry Potter movies as well as all of the Lord of the Rings movies, but by a very little I think that the Lord of the Rings movies are better

Lord of the Rings by far. Written better, had better acting and the big war scenes were great. I read the whole Harry Potter series (I didn't read the Lord of the Rings), which might have added to my frustration as I had expectations to see certain scenes, but had my expectations dashed when they were not included. I also thought often the acting was poor.
