In my opinion, the Potter-books are actually a bit simpler - more childish, if you like - than LotR (and the rest of Tolkien's works). The Potter-books aims for children (although older people can certainly also enjoy them), while Hobbit, LotR, Sil, UT, etc. are more 'advanced' books (which can of course also be enjoyed by younger people, although I don't think an eight years old child would be able to enjoy Sil).

I do agree with you, River Jordan; I like 'LotR-ethics' better than 'Potter-ethics', but then again, I simply like Tolkien than Rowling.
