The 7-volume [[Harry Potter]] series is Lord of the Rings for 11-year-olds, and it does a fine job too. It combines a few elements from Chronicles of Narnia, particularly that [[Summerhill]] clone where the the good kids get bullied before taking a voyage with a stalwart Mouse, rescuing (!) a dragon, etc.

I'd like to do a comparison of LOTR vs. HP for things like:
 +
#a villain no one sees or dares to name
 +
#communication by fireplace or ''[[palintir]]''
 +
#rings vs. wands
 +
#the "[[hero's journey]]" Bilbo/Frodo vs. Harry
 +
#Gandalf vs. Dumbledore
 +
#little Sam vs. big [[Hagrid]]
 +

Lots more, and thank God there's no prohibition on original research here! --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 00:04, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
