Oh yes, people would still think of elves as really short people that make shoes and help Santa make toys.

what do you people have against Harry Potter?! You never let it go!

I'm with you on this one, Meela. Can't we all just get along?
A world without LotR would be a very terrifying place indeed. Most fantasy books might never have been written without it. Imagine: no
Wizard of Earthsea. No
Shanarra. No
Sword of Truth. No
Harry Potter. I may very well have shrivelled up and died. Or I would be some creepy little goth, sitting in the corner reading Stephen King books.
Who knows what the impact on the rest of literature would be. A great deal of sci-fi may not have been written. And it keeps on spreading...
