Harry Potter had lots of things to play with in the characters and plot, in all the things JKR told us, hinted at, and left open, and all the history in this fantasy world that is so close but so far removed from our own. Marvel has all of those things with the added bonus of many years of back comics to wade through, several alternate universes, and characters that can literally do anything. The thing about Marvel is that there was already an active, happy fandom in place from before the movies, and the canon isn't going to end, so even when the hype of these movies dies down at least a portion of the people brought in by them will still be in the fandom.
