The Star wars vs. Star Trek battle has a clear victor for me simply because I've never really seen any of the Star Trek movies or shows. Star Wars has been the only of the two I've seen and I enjoyed the plot and conflict. It was very compelling.
Harry Potter vs. LOTR is a little trickier. I've read Harry Potter several times and loved the story and characters, but I never really enjoyed the LOTR books as much. For me, I thought LOTR was too focused on creating a fantasy world rather than telling a story. And I know that LOTR has a whole meaning behind it and has an adventurous story, but I feel more connected to Harry Potter because he lives in our world, not some fantastical land in the imagination. However, the LOTR films were much better than the Harry Potter films, but I think this has more to do with target audience. Harry Potter was being targeted towards a lot younger crowd than what LOTR was targeting so the scenes in LOTR were not afraid to show violence or make complex plots. On the other hand, Harry Potter movies had to make it simply for their simple audience so I did not enjoy them as much. So all in all, I liked Harry Potter books better than LOTR, but the LOTR films were much more developed than Harry Potter.
