Sure, it's possible to prefer Potter to LotR.

However, it is not possible for a rational human being to actually think Potter is BETTER than LotR. By any standard of art, writing, performance, direction (talking about both the novels and films), Tolkien/Jackson's work is just flat-out superior in every regard.

lol The LotR books are sooo boring. And I am rational.

While objectively Tolkien's work with the LOTR books is better than Rowling's with HP

It is "possible" for one to like the HP Books more.......millions probably do.

Whether you think they're boring or not, they're brilliant pieces of literature that completely redefined the way we think of fantasy settings, epic stories, and British literature.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most important pieces of western literature of the past 100 years, if not THE most important. No one will be saying that about Rowling's work in ten years, much less 100.

Harry Potter... and I'm quite surprised it is winning... Should be Star Wars considering how nerdish it is. I mean, we are on an gaming site.

Then it proceeded to become the second-best selling book of the 20th century in the western world behind... The Bible.

You're going to have to do better than that.
