Yup. Although, I think comparing anything to LOTR is questionable considering it kind of started high fantasy and yet most of high fantasy is actually nothing like it. But yes, Harry Potter is nothing like LOTR (I've also seen the LOTR and Star Wars comparisons a lot which also make no sense). The only thing they have in common is being fantasy, and it is such a broad genre that it makes no sense to compare them.

Actually, I think the best things to compare Harry Potter to aren't fantasy at all. I think they are British school fiction. Because Harry Potter is basically that but with magic.

AYRT - Good point about boarding school fiction. I haven't read much, but from what I know of it, it does fit.

LOTR and Star Wars is actually pretty logical because both are obvious variants on The Hero's Journey. My copy of The Hero with 1,000 Faces has Luke Skywalker on the cover.
