3. Why I Like "Harry Potter" Better than "Lord of the Rings"

Why I Like "Harry Potter" Better than "Lord of the Rings"

There is one other thing I'd like to add, that Harry Potter has which Lord of the Rings does not; inner beauty.
In Lord of the Rings, love is only about physical beauty (Aragorn and Arwyn's love at first sight, for example). Everything that LOOKS ugly, like Orcs or giant spiders, are pure evil. Things that are on the side of good have to LOOK beautiful to our culture (the perfect elves, all three of the main female characters, and so on).
Harry Potter teaches just the opposite. Characters will first have a relationship with some one they find "hot", and it doesn't work out. Then they will get to know someone else better, and find a much better companion who might not be a "hunk" or a "babe". (Harry starting with Cho, then ending up with Ginny; Ron first liking Fluer, then Hermione.)
Plenty of characters seem frightening at first but turn out to be our favorites (Hagrid, Serius). And some of the creepiest villains are physically attractive (Bellatrix Lestrange, Tom Riddle Jr.)
Lord of the Rings is a great series because of what it's symbols stand for. Harry Potter is good because it's easier to relate to our own lives.

*STUDENT COUNT AND SCHEDULE* fanfiction helper [small irrelevant spoilers] Anyone else feel like, Harry Potter is your safe space, like I’m 20 year old man, and whenever I feel sad I always come back to some HP related. So my question is what makes HP feel so warm and relaxing Just realized, when Hermione and Ron are seeing their children off to Hogwarts in 2017, it's already canon that she's the new Minister for Magic. And yet there she is, completely without any accompanying Aurors or aides, just being a normal mother dropping her kids off at school. Draco might not be completely evil, but he did some stupid, illegal and dangerous things, some of which could have been disastrous had it not been for pure dumb luck. Nobody gives Vernon Dursley the credit he deserves for being an absolute ride or die king. Question after finishing Deathly Hallows for the first time… Andromeda Tonks got it rough. Rate Snape from 1-10+ Ad What did a character, that is considered "good", do that rubbed you the wrong way? why not adopt tom riddle? What out of context quote from Harry Potter seems dirty to you. i’ll never watch the cursed child simply because of the fact that hermione’s race was changed halfway through….. Do you agree with the idea of a remake one day? Narcissa Malfoy is a horrible person and no amount of fanfiction will change that Did you feel sympathy for Malfoy?
