Well, next time they say that Tolkein copied Rowling, just tell them that Tokien wrote LotR LOOOOOONG before the first HP was even published.

Well my friends are always teasing me about my obsession, so I'm always getting ticked off at them, but I'm afraid to say anything because besides the annoying LotR-related remarks, they're all really great friends. If I was courageous enough, I'd tell them that it really bothers me when they insult/tell me stupid things about LotR, but I'd say it in the nicest way possible. I think that's the only way to deal with Non-LotR friends... really nobody at my school is as into LotR as I am, so I really have no hope of having Ringer friends off-line. Sucks really big!

glad people on line understand me!!

how the hell could Tolkien have copied Rowling when Tolkien died before she could have got the idea? I mean, u don't get an idea and then sit on it for 20 odd years!!

That drives me crazy! Luckily, I have now told all of my friends so many times that Tolkien wrote LotR when Rowling was eight that even if they still believe it they don't say it in front of me :-P But one of my friends hates LotR and loves HP - we get into such debates :-D

^You poor child. I don't know why your friend would call herself "prongs" as well, because that's James Potter's name, but anyway... tell her that there's no such thing as magic or Hogwarts and act very very blunt about it. A few of my old friends have just gotten over the phase of thinking that they might get into Hogwarts. Ugh.

Did you just say Tolkien copied TLotR?! :roll:

No, honestly though. I went on MuggleNet.com and this was on their wall of shame:
Quote:
hey emerson!!!!! HOW DARE YOU compare this stupid movie with jrr tolkiens epic masterpiece?????? you suck the movie of harry potter is a disgrace! it has no point and no feeling behind it so how can you say they are even equal?????????????? LOTR RULZ. u can just go kiss ant orc!


How embarrasing! People like that give TLotR-obsessed people a bad name! I like HP. I'M OBSESSED with TLotR!!!!! I appreciate how none of you freak out like this. I read and respect HP because it doesn't come ANYWHERE close to The Lord of the Rings.

A person from my primary school ( who used to be my friend) is obsessed with HP.

we had a huge fight because she thought that LotR was copying HP. But then I showed her my dad's oldest copy of LotR from 1968. She was still convinced that Tolkien went into the future, stole Rowling's idea, and went back in time and published LotR.

:closedeyes: Some people just don't get it.
