I think someday they will both be classics. I didn't know Lord of the Rings already was. Is it because its finished and Harry Potter isn't?

Yes, I think that Harry Potter is destined to be considered a classic. It is a cultural phenomenon! *World wide* people are caught up in it. The series has fans that are of all ages, races and religions.

I don't think it will be in the same league as Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, because those are both very thorough and they have their own languages and universes, etc... just very much effort went into them. Although I believe the books will always be a children's favorite... maybe like the Boxcar Children series or something.

It will be considered a classic childrens book, but not really a classic the writing is bland and predictable. It is like a million other fanntasy stories only this one was aimed at kids and teens.

Harry Potter is not in the classic literature category. It's too light. Tolkien was a master of prose.

it could be a classic like Narnia i guess, but apart from that... who knows.
it's too easy to read plus it lacks any made-up languages to be in the same league as LotR, although I enjoyed reading it probably more than I did LotR
let's check in 30-50 years from now shall we? :o)

Yes although future generations might view it as a peculiarity.

I dunno... it's very popular now but I'm not sure if it has staying power. For one thing, Tolkien worked very hard to create a complete universe, where everything had a history and was cohesive and functional.
With Harry Potter, most of the magic is obviously just thrown in randomly, hard to suspend disbelief. Good stories though.

Yes, probably though when she finishes writin the series!

I sure hope not - I think it's just one large fad. It's not destined to be a classic.
