I think you're way off the mark with that one. Rowling's stories are certainly formulaic (as Sonist pointed out) and not all that original but she can write. Dan Brown is a mediocre writer at best. Rowling characters are engaging and endearing told via a classic tale of good vs. evil. Neither Dan Brown's characters or plot is endearing or engaging. I think it's unfortunate that Rowling is the bestselling author in the world right now but at least she is a decent writer. Dan Brown, along with Stephanie Meyer, really aren't.
