Frodo and Harry : The Lord of the Rings vs. Harry Potter [Paperback]
by Ted Baehr, Tom Snyder
There is a war afoot between two fantasy worlds. The recent release of feature films based on The Lord of the Rings trilogy has reawakened popular interest in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantastical world. Meanwhile, Harry Potter fans devour every installment of J. K. Rowling’s best-selling series. While both series have ardent fans and some similarities, is there actually an important difference between the two? How are readers and moviegoers to think about Frodo and Harry?
This book contrasts the fantasy worlds of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, showing their very different worldviews. Using Harry and Frodo as a lens to examine media entertainment as a whole, the authors show us how to make wise choices, because there’s more at stake than just a book or a movie - it’s a way of looking at the world. Discerning readers and thoughtful parents will find this book an eye-opener about what they’re being taught through the entertainment they choose.
Crossway (May 2003). Trade paperback. 208 pages.
