quoudam72 Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Harry Potter is witchcraft and Lord of the Rings is keltic magick. Go figure. Anyway I know you alot of you guys are hobbits and dwarf lovers (I personally like the drunken dwarf on Howard Stern but that's different) and being that I don't really care much for fanasty novels it really doesn't matter to me but I would like to see Lord of the Rings.

Digital Guerrilla Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Excuse me trh5000 and gryphon if you guys really want to be helpful next time try giving some answers that someone actually gives a d**n about. Atleast Fedaykin-Sandwalker's answer has information I could use. And for your information trh5000 I have started reading Lord of the Rings (only the first chapter). I only asked because they both seem only slightly similar to each other. BTW thanks Fedaykin-Sandwalker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest etsun Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 SIMILAR!!!!!! That's heresy! Â >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Sorry, that's true Sandwraith. I should haveanswerd your question, not stall it ore make fun of it. Again, sorry  :'(So therefor, and I don't know if I can explainit correctly becouse my Englisch ins't that good ;LoTR is to begin with a fantasy novel, whereHarry Potter is story about witchcraft but is possibly this world, LoTR is not this world.So to begin with the genre is different.Harry Potter is about a "singel" boy, aboutwitchcraft, it's kind of a "personal" story.LoTR is more about a "civilezation", the driving ellement in and behind a sociaty, theiridea's and moral value's.And that's why I think the two books arejust not the same and maby even oncompareble.They are based on two different "ideology's"( so to speak )About your remark on age. Age is not a biological thing.You don't grow old, you get old. Old is "in yourmind", I mean ; you are as old as you think you are, asold as you feel yourself. ( don't interpret this as aninsult ) For example, I still like Willy Wonka's chocolatfactoryaka. Charly and the chocolatfactory. It's not a matter of "how old" you are, it more about what you like, whatyour interrest are.So again sorry, I should have answerd your questionthe first time.Cheers,. . . ..  :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted November 21, 2001 Author Share Posted November 21, 2001 I'll admit It was not enough. LoTR is for all ages and Harry potter is for mostly adults35+ and kids12-. LoTr is a classic novel which planted the seeds for todays fantasy. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 LoTR is one of the founders ( well Tolkien is ) of modernscience fiction ( and fantasy ). LoTR and Dune both recievedHugo and Nebula awards. It are both novels, in witch anentire different world / culture has been created.It are probbebly the only two books that have been written in sutch scoop, but that I don't know for shure.

gryphon Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Ok, won't do it again. And yes, I sometimes ( almost alway's ) do it on purpose. I don't always use the same computer and as you might  guess, some have low res. ( 800 x 600 ) and on those monitors you cant see the entire messagebox.

Digital Guerrilla Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 O.k. gryphon and trh5000 no hard feelings. I understand now better than before and will look at Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings both with a difference mainly as two different forms of fanasty. That would be correct yes?

thomas Posted November 22, 2001 Author Share Posted November 22, 2001 yep. :D If you really like Lotr and want to beat people with foam weapons go to www.dagorhir.com And a dune L.A.R.P. would be cool.and no I am not a member of any L.A.R.P.

nemafakei Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Bah!Potter is gross and indecent trivialisation of arcana.Oh, and there are not 7 books published yet, so there cannot be 7 scripts. And by the 7th film, the actors (and character in the books) will be about 3 years older - will there be a problem I see? - Know your enemy. Â Â - Even so, I could't bear to read one whole book.Long live Tolkein!!! (Or his writings, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I know, 7 new scripts are a lot of scripts. And even when Harry Potter would be an enormous succes it seems a little premature to make plans for another 7 movies. Just look at the big blockbusters from the last years, you can see that how good they where, how mutch money they made, they still don't have 7 sequels. For example, Jurassic Park, MiB, the Matrix. Just examples. The last two arn't even in the theaters yet and who knows  when the first Jurassic Park was  "new" ?So, a Harry Potter 2 I can understaind, buth another 7 ?I figured that by telling mayby one of you whould knew. ... . ..
