JKR's writing vs story

The Amazing Skeptic asks:

"What is it in the *writing* that sets HP apart?"

For me, it's the tremendous detail that she puts into her world, without
being tedious. I'm a lover of several genres of literature, but by far my
favorites in any genre are the series books. I love to get to really know
characters and their settings initimately. JKR gives us so many little
tidbits and details that add up to a fully fleshed-out world, but she
does it so well that it's not like getting hit with lists and lists of
"stuff".

Qwilleran, the world of Pern, the world of Xanth, Orson Scott Card's
"Earth's Homecoming" series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and so
many, many more series it's hard to name them all!)
