The technical aspect of the movies certainly can be compared, and LotR
is truly top notch. The stories, however cannot be compared. They are
completely different. HP is lighthearted, with scary moments. LotR is
more scary with light hearted moments.

I wouldn't take any child to LotR. The orcs alone and the Balrog (sp?)
would just be too frightening for a child to see. Though...I'd like to
go see it again.
