Tolkien, I don't even know where to begin.

Harry Potter is good; don't get me wrong. I loved the books, but it doesn't compare to The Lord of the Rings because the world always just seemed so amazingly simple. Rowling wrote seven books AND created Pottermore is an attempt to thrust her readers into this world that she created, and despite this, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter always seems so amazingly flat. Harry Potter is a character driven series and the Lord of the Rings [The Hobbit, and most importantly to me, The Silmarillion] is driven by the extensively complex world the Tolkien dreamt up. Most people haven't read The Silmarillion (and I can hardly blame them; it is a DENSE book.), but I powered through it and it's currently my favorite book. It explains the entire cumulative history of Middle Earth, from a creation story up until after the events of The Lord Of the Rings. And Tolkien had it all in his head. It's baffling to me. As a person who is constantly daydreaming, Tolkien's work appeals to me much more than Rowling's.

Eh. Star Wars. I never really got into Star Trek. William Shatner is apparently an asshat, but Patrick Steward is fantastic. This is probably the debate that I would say I don't care about.
