I really can't see any quality about the harry potter things, all seems like your basic story and fantasy crap to me.
LOTR was a brilliant book, and the movie(s) probably outdoes it.

I'm not saying the potter is on the same level as LOTR, just that it's a series that lives up to the hype, because it was already a word of mouth phenomenon before the marketeers got involved. There are also many "real" writers that have praised the quality of her work. She really is in the Blyton league of writers.
Also I wouldn't exactly say the potter movies are of the same quality as the LOTR trilogy. You really need to read the books.
As far as associating with gradeschoolers.. my girl got me onto the books and it's not as if i talk about i heart huckabees or eternal sunshine of the spotless mind with anyone so why do i care if other fans are kids instead of arthouse wankers i wouldn't want to talk to anyways.
