<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#00FF00">Harry Potter has a certain charisma to him that makes him likeable and watchable by the whole family.

LoTR by comparison is quit violent for smaller children and some adults, even the books are quite violent. Same applies for FR and DL books.

Lets take my mother for example. She probably would not have much interest in watching or reading LotR but she would be able to sit down and watch a HP movie. Me I prefer LotR but I don't feel tortured to have to sit down and watch Harry Potter. Harry Potter basically has a larger demographic due to its milder content, or appeals to a wider audience.</font>
