There are numerous writers (yes, Dan Brown, I'm lookin' at you!) that write content well suited for the likes of a Vella-type (serialized) environment. Any author you've ever read, pretty much, that uses the action/reaction methodology in his/her writing, that "forces"you to flip the page at the end of the chapter or scene-break, is ideally suited for it.
I don't remember the HPs well enough to argue the case, but it seems to me that JKR wrote chapter endings in such a way that you wanted to turn the page and get on with it. It might work in that environment, but again, I don't recall the writing well enough.
