The wizards of the Lord of the Rings are not the wizards of the Dresdenverse, they are neither human nor elf.

No, they're angels cosplaying as Santa. Still doesn't change the fact that Harry is a Wizard that apparently used int as his Dump Stat.
He should know better, but Jim has a much easier time writing the story if Harry is an idiot.

This made me almost spew my food. But let's be honest, Harry would have high stats in Intelligence and Charisma (don't get me wrong, he uses wit a lot and is able to get people to follow him into the crazy, scary, frightening situations) but his stats in WISDOM are extremely low. Hence the not warding on the floors and his constant putting of foot in his mouth. He's very smart and can think quickly, but doesn't do so well with common sense and perception.

Not sure I would describe it that way; most Harry plans are pretty good but made up as he goes along, yes, but most of them aren't triggered by Harry messing up - they are triggered by an external crisis.
His skill is going off on a charge BEFORE there's a plan, rather than like other players waiting for the plan to develop and THEN move. He thereby gains crucial time. That, to me, is wisdom too.
Instead I would say his charisma is a dump stat, and he substitutes something like luck; he is always pissing people off by his ways, but somehow gets away with it for other reasons. I mean, he went to a vampire party as a CHEESY vampire.
