The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
True, but HP and his chums would happily describe each other as witches and sorcerors, whereas I don't see Galadriel referring to herself in these terms.

The words are used positively in the HP books, whereas they have more negative connotations in Tolkien's works.

Which is why I think Lush is spot on when she says:
