A poll has recently been conducted by LOVEFiLM.com, in order to discover which is Britain’s favorite movie adaptation of a children’s book. Turns out the Harry Potter series came in second, next to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After polling 1000 members, the DVD rental website announced the following list: Quote:
1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001 onwards), J.R.R. Tolkien
2. Harry Potter series (2001 onwards) J.K. Rowling
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1971/2005), Roald Dahl
4. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005), C.S.Lewis
5. The Wizard of Oz (1939), L. Frank Baum
6. Mary Poppins (1964), P.L. Travers
7. The Railway Children (1970), Edith Nesbit
7. The Snowman (1982), Raymond Briggs
9. Matilda (1996), Roald Dahl
10. Alice in Wonderland (1951), Lewis Carroll

Why on Earth is LotR in this list? I wouldn't consider it a children's story at all...
I'm glad HP is in it though It should be 1st though

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Great list, totally agree with LotR being numero uno |

| Ultimate Potterite Original original I'm definitely not surprised. The books are amazing and that makes the movies amazing, even if the movies are not nearly as amazing as the books are. And I'm very pleased to see LotR at number 1! |
