Harry Potter's Place in History

The tremendously popular Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling have often been compared to works by famed children's authors like Roald Dahl and C.S. Lewis. Are these comparisons fair? Who do you think have been the greatest characters in the history of children's fiction and how does Harry Potter compare to those characters?
