Rings runs circles around Rowling: Christian in its worldview, Tolkien's lord of the Rings is a literary masterpiece far superior to Rowling's occult-laden, morally ambiguous Harry Potter series. (Cultural Currents).
There's no accounting for taste. To read the reviews of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (the movie, that is), one would think director Chris Columbus had brought us an eye-candied, fantasy equivalent of Gone With the Wind.

"Richly envisioned" and "inventive," oozed the Chicago Tribune. "Truly ... a wizard show," enthused the London Daily Mail.
