Quite frankly how can there NOT be similarites that people will pick up on from LOTR and HP , JK Rowling would have been inspired by Tolkien (as were probably most fantasty writers recently). Harry Potter is a paving way for younger kids up to LOTR , its like a stepping stone. A very cliche point I know , it's probably been said i know but i just had to make the point.

Well, I totally agree with you. I also think that HP is not as "deep" as LOTR and Tolkien's books and that make them very different. (I think HP is not that "deep" because it is a children's book.)But at the same time simelar because I think Rowling was inspired by Tolkien.
I've read that many find Wormtail and Wormtounge very simelar indeed, because they are both traitors and the because of the name.....I agree here too. I see this as one of those inspirations Rowling got from Tolkien.
