Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings? - Page 5

I believe that falls into the suspension of disbelief category

basically older/more mature readers will just ignore the ridiculousness and enjoy the story for what it is.

I agree to quit discussing The Dark Knight. I still hate it and I always will hate it, but there's no point in arguing, as we are all strong-minded.

I don't understand why a television set or a or a computer can't work with magic, but a car can, when both require electricity.

I think that the major problem with the Harry Potter series is that too much of the content therein is irrelevant to the story.

**zarny** · 10-21-2009, 04:39 PM

Almost half of the order of the pheonix book was irrelevant.
The reason why the movie was good because they took the irrelevant stuff out.

In Lord of the Rings they use things that belong in the time. In Harry Potter they are just pretending. Harry Potter has too many useless characters.

I'm no mechanic but I'm pretty sure cars don't need electricity to work. Maybe nowdays they can't run without it but I'm pretty sure Model Ts didn't have headlights and other fancy electrical gizmos. But then again I really have no idea, it just seems wrong.
Either way HP is full of fail and butchered English.

Electricity is required for the ignition, and the battery contains electricity.

Why don't they use magic-powered trains to go to Hogwarts?

I thought that in the Deathly Hallows a lot of the deaths were incredibly irrelevant, such as Lupin, Tonks, that guy with the camera, who's name I can't remeber for the life of me, although muched liked it was usless.

**gaber** · 10-22-2009, 02:36 PM

Most of the Deathly Hallows was just added to make the book longer and was useless. The ending was also pretty lame compared to how they built it up.

**Mikman** · 10-22-2009, 04:13 PM

They should have explained Voldemort's death after it occurred. That would have been a twist.

**JKool** · 10-22-2009, 04:41 PM

I was sad when Lupin and Tonks died.

**zarny** · 10-22-2009, 06:23 PM

I was sad when Sirius, Snape, Fred, Lupin, and Tonks died.

**Mikman** · 10-23-2009, 05:00 PM

I didn't understand many of the deaths.

**zarny** · 10-23-2009, 05:08 PM

Ya, the seventh book was really stupid and boring. At the end of the book everyone just started dieing

**Dudebro** · 10-24-2009, 02:34 AM

Way to drop all kinds of spoilers in this topic. I don't care about HP but I still think you guys should've known better, next time use spoilers or I'll do it for you.

You'd bette be sorry! This is why we have rules! Hahahahahahahaha!!

**Dudebro** · 10-24-2009, 10:12 PM

I don't think it's actually a rule but it's common courtesy. If someone spoiled something I cared about I know I'd be pissed off.

**Mikman** · 10-25-2009, 09:46 AM

I see.

**Dudebro** · 10-25-2009, 01:03 PM

You don't think spoiling movies/books is wrong?

**Skayde** · 10-25-2009, 11:11 PM

To quote a personal hero of mine, Randal Graves, "That movie is just a bunch of walking." Sorry, kill me if you guys want. But both of these movies are over rated. I never took the time to read any of the Harry Potter books past the first one. I have read The Hobbit though. Not a fan of this genre though.

**Dudebro** · 10-25-2009, 11:24 PM

Nothing wrong with disliking both movies. I've talked to many people who hate these movies it's certainly not for everyone.

**Skayde** · 10-25-2009, 11:27 PM

I don't hate either. I enjoyed Return alot actually. One of the most epic battle scenes I have ever witnessed. Haha.

**Mikman** · 10-26-2009, 02:49 PM

To what genre refer you? Is it fantasy as a whole, or simply magical fantasy?

**Skayde** · 10-26-2009, 04:50 PM

Magical fantasy. Lol.
