Actually, one of the features of the Harry Potter series is that the books *are* by design age-appropriate... to Harry's Age. The idea is for kids to read them one per year (which is why each book except the last covers one school year) starting at age 10. Which is why the prose and the subject matter gets progressively more mature and darker.

An ambitious undertaking for any author to attempt to say nothing of a previously-unpublished writer. It'll be interestingg where her follow-ups go; back to the young reader market or straight adult.
Was this the original design of the author or more an issue with the fact that the actor playing Harry is ageing by one year every year?

You do of course realize the books came well before the movies?
