Right Harry!
In this last episode Potter is a young adult and so are the readers who have followed him since.
As you say it is not great litterature but the writing is decent enough to give children a good view of what quality should be. So it is to someone who is learning English as I am.
What I like most of this series is that this author is treating kids as adults by not lowering her writing to a more accessible kind. Children have to work to understand by looking words up. It is no wonder teachers use these books in class as a learning tool. The infatuation towards this story is a much better way to keep kids interested in reading than forcing Shakespeare on them. How many adults have been forced this way never to read again?
