Noise Marine Actually...
Harry Potter was targetted at children so they are very easy to follow (They are Low-Class Children's Fantasy). What I mean is that the language is not that hard to understand, but the pacing gets too fast sometimes. Sure, the books get thicker with time and the story gets darker with each book but it is still very fast paced. The main reason is that Rowling wanted to tell a story and she told it without getting "distracted". She did not go into the depth about things even though don’t matter much. That makes her good at storytelling but poor at world-building. Her world has the depth of a puddle. Even though the books are mesmerizing, there are some big problems with HP. The world-building is kind of poor in a way and there are many plotholes such as The Marauder’s Map, the time-turner etc. The reason is that Rowling wrote more and more books as they became popular. She did not expect this kind of response from people. She did not have a clear vision if you do look back at it.
The Lord of the Rings is High-Class Epic Fantasy. It is a better book (It is a single book divided into three parts). And that mainly comes from the way the books transcend time and space.Even though the languages can be tough to learn, they're still very creative.Tolkien was clearly doing the right thing which was taking a lot of time in World Building. It results in a writing that has a more believable style.Also, it features a lot of singing and dancing. But that's one of the reasons why people love it. His world has so many layers of richness unlike HP. The amount of detail is just astonishing. He even wrote several books about the history of Middle Earth; that is just crazy. He spent his whole life on this idea of Middle Earth and that speaks volumes about him and his writing. LotR contributed more to the literature. It even has more relatable characters. Plus, it has multiple races that are almost like a reflection of US,based on their divided nations,languages,cultures,and even religions. It influenced almost every single fantasy writer out there. Without The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter would not exist. Period.

Dana3605 Harry Potter is for children and the grown up fans either don't want to admit it or had just forgotten that they were children when they first got into a series that has been directly aimed at children all along:
-Dobby is clearly a cutesy cartoon character.
-The spell names have childish gibberish(Even "swish and flick" is kind of childish).
-When you looks at the characters' names(Longbottom, Flitwick, Dumblerdore, Wormtail, Buckbeak, Slughorn, Padfoot, Lestrange,etc), I mean, come on, those are clearly names you get from a Disney-ish children's flick.
-The way the books describe a character's actions, description, and dialogue is clearly on a children's book level There's even a talking hat with facial expressions and moving and talking paintings in the castle that act comical.

Hassan Abou El Ezz What I’m saying is that Harry Potter is for children(like Sesame Street) and the grown up fans either don't want to admit it or had just forgotten that they were children when they first got into a series that has been directly aimed at children all along:
-Dobby is clearly a cutesy cartoon character.
-The spell names have childish gibberish(Even "swish and flick" is kind of childish).
-When you look at the characters' names(Longbottom, Flitwick, Dumblerdore, Wormtail, Buckbeak, Slughorn, Padfoot, Lestrange,etc), I mean, come on, those are clearly names you get from a Disney-ish children's flick.

Cute as a button Every single one of you
“Boring with too many details”?
The majority of LOTR:An actual exploration into the scope and mythology of Middle-Earth. The books also keep the storyline and extended world-building perfectly intact at the same time which is why it so unique since LOTR was the first of its kind.
The majority of HP:Being stuck in a school most of the time with very few places to explore outside. Plus, whatever HP does good at storytelling also lacks at world building, unfortunately. And this is due to the fact that Rowling was too busy rushing the books due to their growing popularity at the time. HP wasn’t even an “original masterpiece” as everyone claimed it to be. It’s basically the skeletal structure of The Worst Witch mashed up with LOTR and Star Wars(Harry is Luke Skywalker, Hermione is Leia Organa, Ron is Han Solo, Hagrid is Obi Wan Kenobi, Dumbledore is Yoda, Fred and George are C3PO and R2D2, Death Eaters are Stormtroopers, Wormtail is Grand Moff Tarkin, and Voldemort is Darth Vader).
