I loved the movie, which is a surprise since I found the books a bit 
tedious at times <g>. I think that while LOTR is something epic and 
on a grander scope, HP would still be the world I would keep 
returning to. I do agree that this movie is not for children. Those 
orcs and uruk-hai are the stuff of nightmares. I just want to know if 
anyone else automatically  thought of Voldemort every time the phrase 
dark lord (as in the dark lord Sauron) came up. LOL
