Harry Potter v Lord of the Rings

Considering I've never seen both Star Wars and Star Trek I cant argue about either of those. However I have read about half of the Harry Potters and The Three Lord of the Rings books as well as seen all the movies in both series I can judge these. In my personal opinion the characters and plot of Harry Potter are greater then that of Lord of the Rings. The accessibility of the characters as well as the pure enjoyment of Rowlings plot exceeds that of the Lord of the Rings. However the writing of the Lord of the rings is much better. The epic fantasy feel that is felt while reading lord of the rings really transports you into another world. It is wordy at times but none the less keeps you engaged and kept someone like me, who doesn't usually read much fantasy, interested through all three books. While Harry Potter was something that could just be picked up and enjoyed no matter if its for ten minutes on your phone or in long sittings. However Lord of the rings was not something that was just easy to read a little on your phone. I had to carve out large segments of time in order to read it. The scope of the books was just to large to pick up easily.
