That would be a fantastic change. I think comparing HP to TLOTR is an insult to Tolkien.

It's a matter of perspective, C. Those not very familiar with the Fantasy literature landscape see if from the 10,000 foot view where the LOTR and Hogwarts universes might look like they are close together.

If you are more familiar with the genre, then your point of view is that LOTR is on one side of the domain and Hogwarts is way over on the other side of things.

Actually, it'd be interesting to try to map out the various fantasy universes. It's something a hippy poster company from the 60s would have loved to do.
