I've been hearing the most diverse critiques of Harry Potter. Some say it's a fantasy story in the same category as Narnia and LotR, others say it's devil-worship.<P>I want to keep an open mind, but I'm not sure if I should read it. Could people give me their opinions, but keep them relating to Tolkien's work, b/c I love ME, and I'd like to see some comparisons before I pick up the books.<P>I hope this post isn't inapporpriate in a Tolkien forum. But I trust you people's jugement.
