This past weekend Jeannette took it upon herself to watch the three Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies. Though I am not a fan of these movies, I did end up catching a few minutes here and there.
After watching the movies Jeannette and I were both quite taken with the similarities between the Lord of the Rings story and the Harry Potter story/books.
Of course, this discussion reminded me of the Radiolab piece from a few years ago about Wagner's Ring Cycle. While this piece is mostly about the Ring Cycle, they do discuss some of the similarities between Wagner's work and Tolkien's.

This piece, like most of Radiolab's output, is easy to access and informative.
