I don't completely agree, but I can totally see why you feel that way. Whether or not the books really are better than Harry Potter, telling that to someone who's a fan of HP in order to get them to read your favorite books is just... bad marketing. And not just because it's annoying, but because comparisons like that tell nothing. Saying things like the story, characters, and writing are better than Harry Potter's doesn't mean much if you don't even say what the story is or the characters are like themselves.

If the books are as good as you say they are, talk about them in their own right, and maybe the person you're trying to get interested will become curious despite themselves. That's how I got over not wanting to watch anime other than Sailor Moon and Pokemon: after nothing but claim upon claim that they were "better than Sailor Moon," I finally heard what Rayearth and Utena were about.
