However, I do feel that Tolkien kind of rips off "Harry Potter" in many ways. There are several parallels, such as elves, dwarfs, wizards, goblins, trolls, magic (especially invisibility), etc. Sauron is referred to as Dark Lord" just like Voldemort is. There is also the elder white-haired bearded wizard who serves almost as a mentor, Gandalf, who is reminiscent of Dumbledore. Some of the character names are similar, such as Wormtongue as opposed to Wormtail, too. There is even a gigantic spider (Shelob) at the end of The Two Towers" that reminds one of Aragog from "Chamber of Secrets." I even noticed that the plots of both series begin with the protagonists' birthday. Now Tolkien, this unoriginal stupid idiot, is coming out with "The Hobbit," which is apparently a prequel to "LOTR." This would be fine, but why didn't he just write this book first to begin with? I still like "Lord of the Rings," though--don't get me wrong--but I wonder if Tolkien has ever said in nterviews whether he borrowed elements from "Harry Potter." Ill be watching the extended DVDs later this week and I think he's featured on the commentary track, so I look forward to that. IDON'T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE
