I prefer the Harry Potter books over the LoTR books, mainly because Tolkien paints a beautiful picture with his words, but doesn't do a dang thing with them. On the other hand Rowling keeps the stories neat and clean with just enough detail to make it interesiting.

Though I will admit the movies are exact opposite. Though I liked Harry Potter at first, the books are becoming too thick to fit in a 2-3 hour movie without butchering the story. The LoTR movies were awesome in comparison, though yes a little slow in the scenes where they do nothing but walking, the story carried well and the action was well placed.
