HP and LOTR

[Amber ?]

This might belong more on the movie list but since there is the great 
possibility the discussion leading to off the movie, I'm putting this here. 
Besides, OT-Chatter always feels more homey to me!

I've a friend who is a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan and not a Harry Potter fan 
at all (of course, she hasn't read the books, but I digress). She groused a 
bit over how HP has broke the opening weekend records but claimed quickly 
that LOTR will break THAT record.

I've read "Fellowship of the Ring" and not the other two so I feel as if I 
can't even speculate on this. 'Sides, I didn't like "Fellowship of the Ring" 
a huge amount so I'm biased. But I know there are several LOTR lovers onlist 
and who probably know about the LOTR fan community and was wondering what 
they thought of the above statement. Does anyone think that the first movie 
will break HP's record? I believe that it won't, but I really have no idea 
how big the LOTR community is or how fanatical.

I'm just curious, that's all. Okay, maybe not just entirely curious, I'd 
love to tell her that some LOTR fans don't think the record held by HP will 
be broken. Not that she'd listen to me, she claims HP are children's books 
without even reading them... *sigh*

You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
...pour some misery down on me..."
