For years I have been struggling with an inner conflict.
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings:
Which is more awesome?
A secret world of wizards that exists among us and holds enough power to wipe us muggles out of existence like powdered sugar from their wizardy mustaches?
OR
A completely different world, with it's own beautiful languages, magic existing not only with certain races of people, but in the nature, and creatures that often break out into song and rhyme?
You see, in my mind, both ideas are very exciting.
(on a side note, if you don't think Harry Potter is awesome, you haven't read the books.)
But after much consideration and research, survey says:
Harry Potter is a series for babies when put next to Lord of the Rings.
I don't mean to discredit my dear little scar faced wizard-
LOTR is just better written. I mean think about it, Tolkien was crazy!
Or something.
He made up a language.
A. Language.
Not to mention different races of men who all have certain traits and habits that are common, yet each character is distinct.
Honestly, now that I really think about it
You shouldn't even compare the two.
But people do.
Obviously, because I did.
But not any more.
This blogging thing has a way of making me see things in a new light.
So far, not very important things.. At all..
