HP and LOTR

[raolin1 at hotmail.com]

Too many variables.  The Internet community of LOTR fans is huge, 
obsessive and very vocal.  New stories all over the place have 
mentioned it in relation to the movies for years.

However, LOTR does not have quite the multi-generational following 
that HP has.  Also, the LOTR movie is not really making any pretense 
of a faithful following of the book.  In fact, the whole part of Liv 
Tyler has little --if anything-- to do with her character in the 
book.  I think that will have a major effect on transfering the 
book's fanbase into the movie's fanbase.
