Whether Rowling's output has the sort of richness that Tolkien's evidently has is up for question. I certainly have not seen it. As to Harry Potter becoming a classic, well, for that it's too soon to tell. Concur that it is too early; however, there is little dispute that the books are popular in much the same way as Charles Dickens' were in his time. JK Rowling describes herself as "Christain" in practically everything I've read about her. She is a member, I believe, of the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian).
