Well, it's difficult to say. They're both written very very different and for different groups.
I prefer the Harry Potter books over the Lord of the Rings books, as a personal level, because Lord of the Rings kinda bored me when I read it. I didnt' like the way JRR Tolkien had it written. But as for respect, I must respect Tolkien for creating such a wonderful world! It's amazing and brilliant and the storyline is more... what's the word?.... deeper, more professional.
As for movies, the Lord of the Rings movies were way way better. But since this is a Book thread, I suppose you're speaking of the books. So I suppose I'll say the Harry Potter Books.
All in all, however, both were grand novels that earned my respect on nearly every level possible. I adore them!
