I read the first and second books in the Lotr last week for the first time since I was a kid and I have to say I remember them being way better than they actually are. Almost the only interesting thing is the passages involving elves in the first book, the rest of it reads like a book for children, which I guess it was it is.

Criminally over rated tripe oiriginally intended for children that was later embraced by pathetic adults in a state of arrested maturity?

Yes I agree

nah, Lord of the Rings at least had solid worldbulding behind it, and was internally consistent with itself.

That's just nostalgia.

Of course. Autism is the next stage in human evolution.

I suppose so. They felt very empty and threadbare, I kept waiting for the sense of wonder and depth I remembered feeling when I was young, but it never came, except, as I mentioned, a bit with the passages with the elves and the old songs.

It all seemed completely ridiculous actually, which I know it's fantasy, but I thought there was more going on.

Both are popular children's fantasy series yes

Harry Potter is actually a fairytale about joining the neoliberal media/management class. escaping from a shitty childhood where you are bullied and misunderstood, getting to feel like you are one of the good guys a benevolent and tolerant being and yet inherently superior to the proles, I mean Muggles. That's why some adults are still so obsessed with it.
