Yes, that's what I've noticed as well. And that's also part of why I like the series. Harry gets older and gets more adult. And so does the story. From a light-hearted book it evolves into a a much more sinister one (but still with lots of rays of light). And also the friendship between Ron and Hermione is something that you can see happing all around you.
