I find it easier to write the body paragraphs and then go back to the intro.

I have no idea why LOTR (though I think it's good), HP, ST, SW will never appeal to me like that.

Sigh. I would have loved to live through the seventies minus the en masse homophobia (though it wasn't really as bad until the 80s and Ronald Reagan), the blatant racism, and rampant crime. The style, the music, the movies, the shows, the literature, all perfect to a T. Poor the 1980s and 50s.

Yeah, except Harry Potter is known as a book series. The best selling book series of all time.

Yeah, body paragraphs are always easiest. It's the intro, and trying not to restate the intro five different ways in the conclusion + being so over it by the conclusion that's the worst.

Intros have always been my favorite part to write. They set the tone for everything.

None of these movies have appealed to me ever except for Harry Potter but not since I grew out of that age. Honestly they always seemed like one of those movies that rely on special effects to wow the crowd more than a compelling complex story line. I mean Star Wars is legit the pits Hated it even as a child

All Harry Potter movies combined made less than 500 million?

No, they made 7 billion. She's using US only numbers for the first movies adjusted for inflation or something.

So even with the added advantage of the best selling book series of all time the movies couldn't attract an audience as large as Star Wars?

No one believes me when I say The Hobbit is a glorified The Little Red Riding Hood

I think every person over the age of sixteen did. But I was four years old and it was the first movie I ever experienced in the movie theater so I'll always be enamored and love it. Even Jar-Jar.

The Lord of the Rings is genuinely great literature (even if I couldn't bother to finish reading the last book).
