Harry Potter is it all story and no authors craft or is it all authors craft and no story?

            Harry Potter has had seven spectacular books and has made me want to read anything J.K Rowling writes. But I think in the last book she incorporates a new writing stile, one that is soft and really unpleasant to read. On the other hand she does a great job telling you the story but she has a very rushed way of writing it. Which made me realize that a book like Lord of the Rings is much better written. So there for I should say that series is better than Harry Potter. The answer is NO Harry Potter my be written worse than Lord of the Rings, but it still has better ideas and twists than any book series ever written. You see I'm not criticizing J.K Rowling's ability to write. All what I am doing is just making a point that the reason the seventh book doesn't get the praise that it deserves is her J.K's writing craft is weaker than her "competition".
          If you do thorough research you trace back things all the way from the Iliad. For example Hermione is a name of a smart and care free character in the Iliad, which sounds extremely familiar to the Hermione we know in Harry Potter. That fascinates me to the extent that it makes me wonder if J.K stole the idea or thought it would fit into the story in a way that would lighten up the story. I think this isn't stealing the name but actually making it more fun and it shows that she knows her literature.
        I can't even count the times that I would wish to be a student in Hogwarts and wish that I could go in and fix the ministry. But the truth of the matter is I am a muggle with a useless dream of one day picking up a wand and casting a spell.
