I fall into this group. I enjoy the books, I'll reread them, I do think they are well-written and well-plotted. But as I've read more sophisticated fantasy works (*coughGRRMcough*), they're certainly not the best. They don't compare to much of the fantasy out there. I do give props to Rowling for making this work for her, for getting published and having such a worldwide phenomenon. They are constantly in the news.
