I prefer Harry Potter and Star Wars. Why? It's because I happened to watch these two first and they imprinted in my memory more positively than Lord of the Rings or Star Trek. In my mind Star Trek seemed like a rip off of Star Wars because of their similar themes. Plus Star Wars seems more linear in storytelling and it appears to be easier to follow. Then Harry Potter triumphs Lord of the Rings because the magic and characters in Harry Potter seem more simplistic and less demented. Keep in mind that most of my argument is my impression of each so they are not supported heavily by evidence. Watching each of these series is time consuming and I don't spend too much time arguing which one is better; they are all in a great genre for entertainment. In the end, I believe that each person has their own opinion on which is cooler. Obviously these movies and ideas aren't silly because they've enjoyed an enormous amount of success.
