great shit really , I can bribe people that don ' t understand my language . <| sep |> To start with , The Hobbit is a lot better written with interesting prose , compared to the generic and uninteresting HP . Also , The Hobbit doesn ' t frame racially segregated communities as a great thing . It ' s also interesting because it ' s in many ways the exact opposite of fantasy traditon . Bilbo is the opposite of Potter whereas Potter is expected to do great things since the day he was born , Bilbo is just this friendly guy who likes his home who was dragged into this grand adventure . And in that sense , his personal growth isn ' t some inevitability , something that must happen , but rather him making something of himself . But we y ' all love HP and nothing I say will change that
