Just finished all the Dresden Files. What does Veeky Forums think when compared to Harry Potter? I enjoy the way JK Rowling created a whole universe around her wizarding way of life, but I really like Dresden's way of being a wizard in the "real world" and damn the consequences. Thoughts on the better series of the two?

I always thought that Dresden files were /r/books tier. Are they actually decent?

If you're looking for serious literature, don't bother with Dresden Files. If you're looking for lighthearted fun, it's not really near the top of the list, but it's also very far from the bottom.

It's like apples and orange I think. They set out to do different things. Rowling wanted to create a world with lore apart from the urban world. Dresden set out to create something more urban. Each have strengths and weaknesses. Dresden can drag and be bogged down with angst. Harry potter lulled big time in book 5 and 7.
t. a big fan of the urban fantasy genre.
