Regarding the whole HP verses LOTR thing, the movies are from the same production company and released in the same movie 'season'.  That is why the article was saying their against each other because they are.  They're competing for the same fan base (fantasy lovers), the same audience for the season (winter movie goers, those that actually drudge thought he snow to see a new release) and the same promotional opportunities (Though Harry's beating them from getting a jump on promos with last Christmas's products and the coke promotions).  

Now while for some fans one movie does not compare to another content wise, for the studio heads this is an important competition, to see which movie succeeds in money.  Harry Potter, the 'children's' fantasy or Lord of the Rings, the more adult fantasy.
