Certainly, the members of the HP list are not so stupid as to say that LOTR 
books are ordinary. Have you read them? If  not, please do not express an 
opinion (no more than I can tolerate people who say that HP is devil 
worshipping and has not read them).

I do not agree that this is the consensus of the list..because most people on 
the list have at least a room temperature iq.

"In response to an unusually intelligent question about whether the sudden 
resurgence of the fantasy genre, with the wizardry and witchcraft, represents 
a growing interest in pagan spiritual traditions, Ian McKellen (who plays 
Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings) replied:

'I certainly hope so. The great religions have destroyed something essential 
about humanity, which is the fact that we belong to the earth. I wish I knew 
more about pagan traditions, because I suspect I would like to sign up.'"
