Okay, first off Star Wars beats star trek. I say this even though I have seen maybe a total of two hours of star trek and every star wars movie at least 3 times each. I am biased and totally unqualified to compare the two, but I do anyway. My dad loves star trek and star wars, but he is upstairs and I am too lazy to get his opinion for this blog. Star Wars was crudely made and riddled with inconsistencies, but the juxtaposition of it with freaking awesome characters and John Williams made it worthy to occupy a large amount of my hard drive. John Williams lead my emotions, by the hand, through the sequentially crooked series; just as Star Wars themed legos seemed to conduct most of my residential childhood activities.
Okay now I actually have seen both Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter series, but only read the books of the latter. The LotR books eye me down from their perch, high upon the tallest shelf; and they kind of do take up the entire shelf. The two are almost equal in greatness but LotR takes the cake for best series. It might be the extraordinary story line, the textbook-like detail of peoples and languages, or the cinematic war scenes that tip it over Harry Potter, but its definitely not a huge coltish fanbase (harry potter owns one of those). Harry Potter does have emotion, a few characters that might or might not have been changed out after a few movies, and the mysteries of magic, but it's seven books do not trump the LotR's 3 (plus the hobbit).
