Overall, I like Lord of the Rings. However, I do feel that Tolkien kind of rips off Harry Potter in many ways. There are several parallels, such as elves, dwarfs, wizards, goblins, trolls, magic (especially invisibility), etc. Sauron is referred to as “Dark Lord” just like Voldemort is. There is also the elder white-haired bearded wizard who serves as a mentor, Gandalf, who is reminiscent of Dumbledore. Some of the character names are similar, such as Wormtongue as opposed to Wormtail, too. There is even a gigantic spider (Shelob) at the end of “The Two Towers” that reminds one of Aragog from Chamber of Secrets. I even noticed that the plots of both series begin with the protagonists’ birthday. And then, Tolkien, this unoriginal bastard, came out with "The Hobbit". This would be fine, but why didn’t he just write this book first to begin with? I still like Lord of the Rings, though–don’t get me wrong–but I wonder if Tolkien has ever said in interviews whether he borrowed elements from Harry Potter. I’ll be watching the extended DVDs later this week and I think he’s featured on the commentary track, so I look forward to that.

This is also bait, nice try though.
It's because the alt-right faggots like LOTR more because it was written by a male. They can't even accept that a woman, a liberal woman at that, could come up with such an amazing story line.. only to have it be stolen by conservatives.
>I do feel that Tolkien kind of rips off Harry Potter

Joanne K. Rowling (Harry Potter)
WASN'T EVEN BORN THEN
ENOUGH SAID
Being this retarded
don't underestimate the power of the handicapped... retard power
Tolkien doesn't provide commentary for the home video releases of his movies because he's a notorious hermit. In fact, there isn't a single recording of him ever speaking. He's practically a ghost.

>everything going on in this thread
k lol
they both ripped off Twilight tbh desu. that scene where Dumbledort and Gandalf make out is ripped off directly from a Simpsons fanfic Stephanie Meyer wrote when she was 15, right after she saw the Matrix for the 7th time and realized it was about vampires kissing. Then CS Lewis stole the idea and made the characters really old so it wouldn't offend Jesus when they kissed each other.
