Washington, July 14 -- Actor Anya Taylor-Joy has revealed that she has not yet read JRR Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' books, but is preparing to do so after being cast in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum'.

The actor shared that she was a devoted Harry Potter fan during childhood before later discovering that she could enjoy both fantasy franchises.

In an interview with Variety, Taylor-Joy said, "I'm about to read the books now, actually. So as a child, I had a misguided idea that you could only be a 'Harry Potter' fan or a 'Lord of the Rings' fan. Nobody told me that. I just came up with that on my own. Luckily, throughout COVID, I then watched all of 'Lord of the Rings,' and turns out you can love both, and you should."...
