Sorry if this has already been said, I kinda didn't read the <I>whole</I> thread .<P>I think that Tolkien was sort of the starting point of fantasy. Most of the fantasy storys that were written after that were related to LOTR. However, HP is in no way a cheap copy of it. The genre may have started with LOTR but others will finish it. I would say that HP is moer comparable to the hobbit than LOTR. It is ment as a kid story, we cannot judge it as an adult story.
