i am a fan of the harry potter books though, but i think ol JK got a lot of her ideas from the Lord of the Rings. for instance, the dementors and the nazgul are pretty similar. the mirror that harrry looks in and sees his parents, there is something similar in the LOTR. i was talking about that with my sister, there are a few more examples that i cant remember at the moment.
I may get flamed for saying this, but I think the LOTR's is the most over rated piece of crap. I threw the book against the wall the the asshole started describing a tree for 2 pages... (I'm be exaderating a bit.)

As for the movies, I watched them until the dude who played dumblidore died. I think that was after the second one.


As for Ender's Game series, I ejoyed all of those books except the second one... I can't remember the name of it. I'm very glad I didn't give up on the series after that one though. The rest were amazing. The Bean series was great as well.

OSC is f-ing amazing.
