London
(ANI):
Harry
Potter's
magic
was
not
enough
to
beat
the
Lord
of
the
Rings
trilogy
in
a
new
list
of
Britain's
favourite
children's
book
adaptation.
The
movies
based
on
JRR
Tolkien's
literary
series
of
the
same
name,
emerged
the
winner
in
the
poll
taken
to
find
which
book's
adaptation
kids
liked
best.
The
movies
based
on
JK
Rowling's
books
came
next
in
line
at
the
second
spot.
Third
place
on
the
list
went
to
the
adaptation
of
Roald
Dahl's
'Charlie
and
the
Chocolate
Factory'.
The
top
five
was
rounded
off
by
adaptations
of
C.S
Lewis'
'The
Lion,
The
Witch
and
The
Wardrobe'
and
L.
Frank
Baum's
'The
Wizard
of
Oz',
which
came
in
fourth
and
fifth
place
respectively.
LOVEFiLM.com,
a
DVD
rental
delivery
service
that
asked
over
1,000
members
to
vote,
carried
out
the
poll.
Fliss
White,
the
head
of
brand
marketing,
said
that
every
title
on
the
list
had
managed
to
recreate
the
magic
of
the
books.
"It's
hard
to
recreate
the
magic
of
the
page
on
the
big
screen
but
every
title
listed
here
has
managed
to
do
just
that," the
Daily
Snack
quoted
White,
as
saying.
"Whether
it's
escapism,
adventure
or
romance
-
all
the
children's
book
adaptations
in
this
poll
have
a
timeless
appeal
for
kids
and
big
kids." The
