HP VS LOR

In my mind, there is no question that the Lord of the Rings is the far better book series. While Harry Potter is a great story, and an interesting read, it is sort of childish and easy to follow. The Lord of the Rings is an intricate, in-depth plot that contains all kinds of political and emotional conflicts in addition to the main plot, including complex regional traditions and differences. The Lord of the Rings is a world of its own that you can really buy into and think about outside of the books. The wizard world of Harry Potter is hard to buy into and is very strained. The only explanations for the world outside of the plot are parts that are needed for the plot. The story of Harry Potter simply does not contain the depth and development that the Lord of the Rings has.
