While I'm not so enthusiastic about Lord of The Rings (been following the development for almost 3 years now... Peter Jackson loves LOTR the was a taxidermist loves a moose!) I do have high hopes for it and Harry Potter... The fantasy movie genre tends to not fair well, but with these 2 coming out so close to each other, things may change... It's the prospect of the inevitable low budget copy cats that sickens me...I'm currently engrossed in #4 Harry Potter and listening to my first hearing of the BBC production of LOTR (it's about time someone did a good S. Morgensternian "GOOD PARTS" version of LOTR)
Children under 10 should be READ harry potter... good for them... good for you... good for everybody!
