The first two books are definitely geared towards kids/preteens. I was obsessed with the first book when I was young, getting an owl and being whisked off to fairytale land, so much fun. By the time the series is rounding out azkaban going into goblet of fire, it begins to present more mature and relatable themes that resonated more re-reading as a late teen.
The Harry Potter books don’t start getting good until he finally ditches the Dursleys full time. I think starting with the 3rd book?
Well, since JKR is a horrible person and a terrible writer, I’m glad I dodged all that shite anyway.
