Lathriel has just left Hobbiton.
I think it is a thing of today to make a big deal out of certain things.
Harry Potter is just a kid's book. That is why it doesn't have as much depth as LOTR. I don't think Rowling expected her books to become so popular nor to be taken so seriously.
I am certain that children can decide what is fact and what isn't. I remember that when I was a kid ( and that wasn't very long ago)I was able to see what was true and what wasn't. Of course there were times when I wished this world I had just read about in a book was true but I still knew it wasn't.
I never understood why there were adult versions of HP. It is such a kids book and it was definitly not meant for adults(Of course they can still read them) or meant for deep study.
