“HARRY POTTER AND THE LORD OF THE RINGS
How do you translate beloved classic fantasy into film? This is a question which has haunted both novelists and film makers for decades. From ‘Conan’ to ‘Beastmaster’ … from ‘Ladyhawk’ to ‘Willow’ … various directors have taken many different approaches and had wildly varying success.”
