Harry Potter won't make it, it doesn't have the staying power. The reason it's still doing well at the moment because the films are still going on...
The reason I disagree is that this was written as 'children's literature,' but I am 27 years old, and I think that the majority of serious Harry Potter fans are my age or even older. I was an English major in college, and Harry was huge there. Fussy old professors would go off enthusiastically about how they stole the Harry Potter books from their grandkids to read. The series is 12 years old, and is not fading. The movies do generate interest in the books, but I think there is a huge divide, and that the movies will die while the books live on with their loyal readers. Besides that, people my age (teens when the first book arrived on the scene) will soon be passing it along to their kids, which I think will create a continuing boom.
I could see the Dark Tower series being considered a classic, but I still think that it will always be overshadowed by King's work as a whole. Some of his books are already pretty much considered classics.
