The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies

During my teen and young adult years I was in a strict fundamentalist church and we were told those movies were evil. I’ve never seen any of them. I’d like to though. I also never read or saw Harry Potter movies and books. I missed so much. I still am affected by my time with that church. I need to start doing the things I missed out on.

Just whatever you do, don’t say the word “Voldemort”. It’s forbidden!!!

Enjoy these great fantasy worlds

How about Alice in wonderland. Was that allowed ??

I thought the first half of the lord of the rings movie was good, and the second half boring. I didn’t watch the remaining 2 movies or the hobbit as a result.

The harry potter movies are good entertainment but over rated in my opinion. I don’t think I’ve seen them all though.

Alice in wonderland is my very favorite but Harry Potter is really ingenious too as far as it goes for fantastic worlds and stories

Recommend reading Harry Potter books before the movies :movie_camera: :popcorn:

@LilyoftheValley you could read the first Harry Potter then watch the first movie. Then read the second and so on. Sounds like It would Be a great adventure

LS! You missed a lot. The Hobbit was the first English language book I have read. I was eleven years old : fifty one years ago. I never stopped reading English language books.

Yeah, I did miss a lot. I’m trying to broaden my horizons and expose myself to new things I deep down I know are innocent fun
