I think Raffles was saying that Tolkien taught it and that was why his own efforts are so dry and awfully dull.
Harry potter sucks - it's so incredibly mediocre, and the films are even worse - that kid couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. There are many many children's books which are far far better, especially for adults as well as kids (like Pratchett's and A Series of Unfortunate Events).
