Harry Potter VS Lord of the Rings: Which Magic Is More Powerful?

[@ajwadnaeem2294]

correction 08:14 - Sauron doesn't have the power to create life, rather manipulate and bend to his will. Eru Ilúvatar alone can create independent life or reality using the flame imperishable.

[@LockeCPM4]

One of the things I was going to say

[@fidogyrenuzanon2335]

Technically, you are correct. Sauron doesn’t have the power to create life. However, I would also point out that Aule the smith of the Valar did manage to create a race that held many of the characteristics of intelligent life. That race was what the dwarves originally were made as. Now, granted, Eru did grant them standing with the other two races. But Aule still managed to create life that was so similar to Eru’s children that it caught Eru’s attention.

[@ajwadnaeem2294]

@@fidogyrenuzanon2335 Good point. Though it is worth noting here that not until Eru Ilúvatar felt pity and gave 'true' life to Aule's creation that the dwarves were able to walk on middle earth. Would Eru grant the same exception to Sauron who has been defying him since the first age? I don't think so. Secondly and I would be interested to know your opinion on this: Can we assume that Aule the Smith ,a Valar, is at the same power level as Sauron (even with the possession of the One Ring)?

[@fidogyrenuzanon2335]

@@ajwadnaeem2294 here is my answer to your question. As Aule is a Vala and Sauron is a Maia, Aule is much more powerful in terms of raw ability (since the Maiar are intrinsically less powerful than the Valar). However, even his skill does not compare to the magical prowess of Melkor (later named Morgoth), who was described as the most powerful of the Valar due to his strong will. (He is the one who originally morphed the creatures of Arda into things like Belrogs, Orcs, Trolls, and the like.) I am mentioning these to illustrate that Harry Potter Theory EXTRA’s points on this matter, while slightly incorrect, are not entirely unfounded. The magical entities of Tolkien’s world are some of the most powerful, and even if they can’t technically create life on their own, some have certainly gotten impressively close. That is more than I can say of any wizard in Harry Potter. As for Sauron getting any pity from Eru, I would agree with you. After all, Saruman the wizard did slightly less evil things than him and he was banished as a mist at the end of the Lord of the Rings. As such, I don’t think that Eru, much less the Valar, would be willing to offer him any pity at that point in the story. I am aware that after the most recent capture of Morgoth, Sauron was offered a chance of pity due to having played a minor roll up to that point in the mythology. However, this was long before the events of the Lord of the Rings (though he created the one ring soon after this event). So by the time of the Lord of the Rings, his chance at redemption would have long passed away. And I agree that Eru would not have given said “creations” of Morgoth any pity for what he was able to do to them. In other words, the mythos of the Lord of the Rings is extremely complicated. Answering even one question about it becomes difficult due to the depth of the Tolkien mythos. So, truly understanding just what is possible for even one character almost requires the reader to fully read through all the main Tolkien storylines.

[@hannah51238]

Exactly. Morgoth tried and failed, hence basically happening the way it did, more or less

[@jdante420]

Tom Bombadil would mess up anyone in Harry Potter.

[@rydmanterry3297]

And singing his way through it haha

[@marilynlucero9363]

Everybody chillin' until Tom Bombadil show up. and then they are all chllin together because Tom Bombadil is such a free soul.

[@ethans9379]

Tom Bombadil would also outclass anyone in LotR besides Eru Iluvatar, I think

[@mrmacura3421]

​@@ethans9379 Not really. Bombadil might be powerful in his own way but only within his own realm (the old forest). He is most likely a (or the) spirit of nature. Nothing else has power over him but likewise does he not have power over anything else. So much at least is revealed in the Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's letters. There are certainly more powerful beings within Middle Earth. Gandalf even says that Sauron would most likely be able to conquer Bombadil, even if he had to attack him within his own land. And that is already taking into account that Sauron does not have the Ring.

[@stormmaster108]

In Harry Potter, using magic doesn't seem to demand much stamina/mana/magicka. Skill and concentration are required, but generally, one can perform significant changes to the world (moving items, blasting obstacles, transiguring objects, wrecking havoc) without too much exhaustion. To an extent that makes HP economy unviable. In The Lord of the Rings, even Mayar are limited in the effects that they can produce and their amount. Gandalf can't just flare from his staff for hours. Even a short burst to fend off Nazgûls (when he saves Faramir and other riders from the chase) is exhausting.

[@RKIJSITFAHCWGOR]

true

[@jbentz1966]

You should compare Potter and LOTR against Star Wars The Force

[@waynemartin6065]

Was thinking the same.

[@Rnerdy197]

I don't really think that's doable cause it's not clear exactly how powerful the force can be

[@All_Good_Things]

Nice video.The only thing i hold in higher regard than Harry Potter is lord of the rings its mind blowingly good

[@RobertLydonReviews]

I could never get into LOTR and I tried. When i lived in England i even watched all three of the original movies with my flatmates who loved it but it never enthralled me. My connection to Harry Potter is honestly purely nostalgic and having gone back and read the books as an adult i have found many issues with the series however despite that im very found of it and also the lore is like engrained in my head

[@KamenRiderGumo]

I also never had the fondness for Tolkien that my friends do. His style is grandiose and overly wordy; he takes four or five pages to describe every little detail of the area around the characters before he gets to what they're actually doing, and a good chunk of the time they're just talking about something that has little, if anything, to do with the actual story. Entire pages taken up with characters reciting songs or poems that, again, have no bearing on what's happening. I love worldbuilding as much as the next guy, and you do need a certain amount of mise en scène in order to draw your reader into the world, but Tolkien went way overboard with it. I'm convinced he could have told the story in half the amount of pages if all that was trimmed out. It's why I prefer Terry Brooks to Tolkien. In "The Sword of Shannara" he has he same basic story, but tells it in a much more concise and efficient manner.

[@StoryLover-7]

@@KamenRiderGumo I've read it somewhere that Tolkien's books were much longer than the published ones, they said to him that he needs to trim it down, because of its length would be too much.

[@loremasterghosty]

I think it should be-noted, Tolkien wasn’t an Author as we know it now. He’s a professor of languages and even helped with the Oxford English Dictionary. And he was writing his works as a History book (Or basically a Mythology) and that’s what intrigued me most about it. While HP felt Too childish compared to it. (Though I enjoy them immensely). Tolkien loved details. So I can understand how it can be grandiose and wordy but, I’m a fan of detail myself so haha

[@EmilyCheetham]

I am a fan of both the wizarding world & middle earth. I saw all the movies. I follow KZbinrs of both. But I pretty much came to the same conclusion. I watched to hear your perspective. I have seen multiple posts over the years of gandalf vs dumbledore on who is more powerful and Iv always voted gandalf.

[@elmojon19]

You gave out incorrect information for Tolkien's works. The overall beings Gandalf belongs to are called Ainur and they are countless Some after they sang the universe and world I to existence came to Arda to oversee the progress of it. Of the Ainur that came 14 were the Valar, Melkor a former Vala and their attendants the Maiar. Which the latter are many. The Istari the maiar that became the wizards only went to Middle Earth to help against the threat of Sauron from Valinor "Aman".

[@Waffle12-yn9qu]

I mostly agree except that Sauron cannot create life. The only Lord of the Rings character that can create life is Eru himself, and beings like the Valar and Maiar can only corrupt or slightly modify it. For example, when Morgoth created the first orcs, he didn't just make them appear out of thin air, he abducted some of the first elves and tortured and corrupted them until they became the first orcs. Although Aulë the smith one of the Valar created the first dwarves, it wasn't until Eru came into play and gave true life to the dwarves that they truly became living beings.

[@stormmaster108]

In terms of magic available to humans, Harry Potter's is much more powerful. But Wizards in The Lord of the Rings are celestial beings with divine powers. It's just different. However, in their human form, even Mayar are not impervious to physical effects and limitations, so I think mages from HP could be able to overcome them in a duel.

[@ArtemisGamingChannel]

It is hinted that the black Numenoreans with sorcerous abilities, one of them might be the witch king of Angmar. The Numenoreans in general lived longer than other humans 500 years because magic in that universe is more of an elevated state of existence granted by the Valar. It is similar to Voldemort in a big way because they became jealous and wanted to live forever just like the Valar. It was the downfall of the entire continent. By the time of the Lord of the Rings, we only see a few humans using magic.

[@AITries]

I think LOTR magic is stronger, but it takes them a while to weild it, magic in HP is much faster to conjure. Malfoy and Harry's duel in 2nd year happened at a way faster rate then Gandalfs duel with Sauromon.

[@RKIJSITFAHCWGOR]

yeah i've seen some videos in which they theorized who would win in a duel, one video was about dumbledore vs gandalf, another one was voldemort vs gandalf, etc. and the mages from the hp universe always won. their ability to cast very powerful spells at an enormous speed always gave them a huge advantage

[@matth6014]

"Harry potter your wand is broken" Gandalf wins it.

[@RiseeRee]

I think that by default I would say LoTR. It has a much softer magic system and so you can kind of do a lot more and just say it’s magic. Harry Potter doesn’t have a particularly hard magic system, but we at least clearly understand a lot of limitations to what the magic can do.

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

I agree that the wizards from Lord of the Rings are more powerful. However it seems worth pointing out that there are areas where the wizards from Harry Potter are superior to those from Lord of the Rings most notably transportation. When Gandalf needs to go somewhere fast he begs someone to give him a fast horse. When Dumbledore needs to go somewhere fast he disappears and reappears at his destination. The ability to to appear anywhere at will including behind your opponent would also be a huge advantage in a duel.

[@enmadaniaisabel1552]

ALSO ON HP THERE ARE WAAAAAY MORE WIZARDS AND WITCHES AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY ARE MORE COORDINATED

[@mecahhannah]

They are both awesome and I love them both

[@palantir135]

Sauron didn’t have the power to create life, nor did Morgoth. That power is reserved to Eru. Morgoth ‘created’ the orks and trolls by mutating existing life forms like elves and ents.

[@grokeffer6226]

They're two different worlds and have two different sets of rules. 🤷‍♂🧙‍♂🧙‍♂⚖⚖

[@iowaredneck9416]

Wizards in HP have a gene that allows them to use magic. It’s much like an individuals midiclorian count in Star Wars making them force sensitive. The magic and the force are there and they are able to use it, but they are not able to control magic or the force itself. LOTR magic is in everything and was put there when the world was sung into creation. Frodos curse, Aragons devine wind, the magic of the wizards, several magical artifacts… all of it can be traced back to the song of creation. The use of the force in Star Wars and the use of magic in HP is far more obvious than the magic in LOTR, but this is by design according to Tolkien. While any witch or wizard can use magic in HP and there are extremely powerful examples, it is no where near as powerful as LOTR, which is literally the wills of nature and the gods. It would be interesting to compare the power of LOTR magic to the force, but in the end I think the force is more powerful because it binds an entire galaxy

[@gasstationsushi1999]

The biggest difference between LoTR and HP is that in HP magic is extraordinary. The blessed few who can use it use it for everything. It sets them apart do they take advantage of it. In LOTR the word “magic” is really only used by people like hobbits who have no understanding of it. Galadriel doesn’t even know what magic is. The powers we see are just intrinsic to the characters and species but it’s magical because we view the world through the hobbit’s storytelling. And another key to it is that the magic we see is significantly weaker than it used to be. Men have almost no magic since Numenor was destroyed. The Dwarves have isolated themselves. The Elves are waning and leaving middle earth and their power is a fraction of what it once was. The wizards are limiting their natural power by taking physical bodies. Even Sauron is a fraction of the power his boss Melkor has

[@paulcowlishaw]

I've got a theory. What if The Sorting Hat said Slytherin as it was being placed on Harry's head. Because it could sense Lord Voldermor soul inside Harry.

[@PseudoNym100]

Maybe. It sounds like there's some evidence to suggest Harry isn't the only one that swayed the sorting hat. Harry's kindness and goodness had to be taken into account at the sorting and as he showed through the series that was always the side of him that won out. But that would be fun to think about. Like the comic of if Superman landed in Russia instead of the USA.

[@Orurandokun]

Who is more powerful? Tanya Degurechaff... If you don't know who she is, she is the main character of "Tanya the Evil." Just imagine Harry Potter with guns. In fact, imagine the Grindewald war was like that.

[@StoryLover-7]

I saw a video like that a couple of days ago. It was funny.

[@PseudoNym100]

I'd take a magical wand over a gun any day.

[@richewilson6394]

After Richard Harris's death Ian Mckellen was considered for the role of Dumbledore but since he was kind of already doing Lord of the rings as well as the fact that he had a professional respect for Harris but wasn't a big fan of him had rescinded the offer to be Dumbledore because of those reasons.

[@corgi42069]

Incorrect. Right down to the spelling of McKellen's name. He declined because he didn't want to be typecast. Nothing more.

[@hannah51238]

The ring can't be destroyed, even by Sauron. It's destroyed by accident in the end. It's power is so great ANY owner of it, even the ring bearer, can't stand against it's will. It really depends who you're talking about. If you're talking about the Maia then no, HP wizards aren't more powerful. If you're talking about random elves, then yeah, HP wizards are more powerful

[@steventheurer6956]

Love both franchises. Read all the books. Watch all the movies. And couldn’t agree more with your synopsis.

[@Uberdude6666]

Good analysis, I agree! Basically, LotR-magic is more powerful, but maybe more specialized. It is wielded by special individuals who use it for some specific, usually grand and important responsibility. HP-magic is more accesible, and if you have access to it there are very few limitations to what type of magic you have access to. Btw about wizard-lifespan and health in HP: I don't think there is some genetic trait to wizard-kind which give them longer life spans and resistance to diseases. I believe the implication is that because they have access to healing magic, they can cure many of the "aging-illnesses" we muggles suffer from. Normal humans can live to around 150 years old as well, but we usually don't because we contract some life-shortening condition or another over the coarse of out lives, and our body is all worn out when we approach 80-90. Wizards can literally just bypass that. Same goes for normal illnesses like the flu etc.

[@jenniferdyck9210]

They’re two different worlds, two different stories. The only real similarity is the use of magic. Who uses it and how and why are so much different. I do absolutely love both universes. They are night and day as far as comparison goes.

[@jonathanthomas4182]

While magic of the Harry Potters universe is more prominent the LOTR universe especially during the events of the Silmarillion is not just simply more powerful but is divine and omnipotent.

[@irystocrattakodachithatmooms]

It's also shown that even when defeated a Maiar can just come back in a new physical form. Sure they can be struck down, but unless one of the Valar make it permanent they can just make a new human form. If a witch of wizard from Harry Potter is struck down and doesn't have a horcrux, that's it. So even if a witch or wizard managed to beat a Maiar, the Maiar could just come back. It could also become that one of the Valar might get annoyed with the witch or wizard and cause all kinds of destruction in the process. After all, it's pretty well know what happens when any being on the level of a god loses their temper.

A Very Good Video 👌🏻👍🏻

[@tanyltorres7713]

@HarryPotterTheoryExtra , wish to correct you. At 8:13 into the video you say Sauron has the power to create life, Trolls, Ogres, Orcs. Actually if you ask lore experts of The Lord of the Rings, they will tell you that J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium teaches that Melkor that was renamed as Morgoth the original first Dark Lord was not even capable of creating life, and it was him that twisted other life forms, the Elves believed, into the twisted form known as the Orcs. The Orcs are also sometimes called Goblins in Tolkien's writings. The only being truly capable of creating life in Arda, the world Tolkien created is Eru Ilúvatar THE God of the world of Arda. Then under Eru Ilúvatar, is the Gods he created or lesser gods if you will. Those are the Valar. The Valar are the Powers of Arda who governed the world under the direction of Eru Ilúvatar. Then under the Valar are the Maiar which were Arda's equivalent of Angels. The Maiar are primordial spirits that are created to help the Valar first shape the World. Its a very long history that J.R.R. Tolkien created and I can't even do it justice with the little I have told you about, nor am I an expert to say much more then I have already. But I just wanted to tell you that much at least.

Lord of the Rings hand down. Why? It was more powerful and subtle. From Tom Bombadil and his wife to the Elven race, not to mention the race in which Gandalf and the members of their orders (you need to read the books). The other things too is that Harry Potters world magic users needed their wand or a medium to channel their magic through to effect anything major. That’s why one of the main way to defeat your opponents is to disarm them by flicking their wands away. After all Harry Potter made it through the whole series, using it his main offensive spell. And can you really see Potters world using their puny magic fighting a Balrog?

gotta correct you here but sauron did not create the orcs and other evil races of middle earth, that was Morgoth and he only captured and corrupted the existing life i.e elves and humans became orcs and goblins while ents became trolls

[@Maxon214]

Whose magic is more powerful would depend on what you are compared. The magic of the mortal races only or just magic from both series entirely. If magic from both series entirely then Lord of the Rings would have stronger magic because would not that include the being that literally created the Lord of the Rings verse itself.

[@denxylboart4403]

One thing I'll say, is where Gandalf the grey died. He came back as Gandalf the white, only Harry Potter does that, in his universe! Only without the grey, and white. We all have abilities, just suppressed!

[@Lickymaballs]

one thing you are forgetting is that the wizards aka mayar were made mortal and were bound by mortal rules and magicks. so they would not be able to use their godly powers and therefore the way they use their magics are not as powerful as the elves who use magick. and would and since harry potter magic is not normally used to kill but could be used knock back an opponent it would take harry or dumbledor knocking the lotr wizards off a tower or cliff to defeat them and they could easily do it now if voldemort were involved he would use avadacadabra and kill the lotr wizards easily.

[@PseudoNym100]

[@WooRidersDg]

[@mrmacura3421]

Comparisons like this don't make sense. Both stories have very different concepts of magic, how to use it and who can use it. I would even go so far as to say that the only thing they have in common is the label "magic". To begin with, in Lotr humans do not use magic at all (unless you count certain "special abilities" like moments of clairvoyance or the healing gifts of the Numenorean kings). Therefore you can only compare what is performed by elves and even higher beings in Lotr to what every wizarding child learns to do in HP. Then you have to take into account the metaphysics of both, which are very different in Lotr and all over the place in HP (people conjuring up things out of thin air and that kind of stuff). Every comparison needs to compare two things that are similar in at least one aspect in order to make clear their differences. Comparing two completely different things is just pointless because you will just learn what you already knew: that they are entirely different.

I know this is not related to this video but I have a question if you don't mind. We all know that the Quill Of Acceptance and The Book Of Admittance are responsible for registering students into hogwarts, in Tom Riddle's case (an orphan) his mother gave birth to him in the orphanage and gave him a name which was known to the people who worked there (Tom Marvolo Riddle), but what if we were talking about an orphan who's origins are not really known? An orphan given a name at the orphanage but no surname, will the Quill or the Book be able to figure out the surname? What would be even written in the book? Will the Quill or the Book be able to know the origins of this orphan? Their true family or lineage? What would happen in this case? Please answer me, I'm really dying to know, and if you don't have an answer based on the lore just tell me what you think would happen, I would love to hear your opinions and thank you in advance for your answers, personally I think that the Quill will be able to know what the orphan's surname is or to which family they belong.

The quill has very special magic which is beyond that of the trace, it is also likely that this is what the marauders used to make their map.

A significant detail about the Maiar in Lord if the Rings is rhat they literally helped create the world itself along with the more powerful Valar (demigods/archangels) When the Maiar whi went on to be known as the Istari, or Wizards, took on physical forms, they greatly diminished their native power, but were still more powerful than any of rhe other races in the world. The fun fact about all of this is that we almost never see their power on display, either in the movies or in the books As for the elves, I do not think they could have used the kind of power we see in Harry Potter
