The first two books are completely different to the next five.

I mean, I didn't particularly like any of them (read them anyway because I had free time and seven books doesn't take me long), but the first two are books that seem to be aimed at very young kids, whereas PoA onwards is more like Young Adult genre.

(I actually thought the first two worked better, because when they become that bit more serious, the fact that the whole wizarding world is basically a madhouse with absolutely no logic becomes a major problem that I just couldn't suspend my disbelief over. In the first two books it didn't matter so much because they were lightweight kids stuff that didn't need to be thought about in any depth - or maybe more to the point, didn't try to explain how stuff worked, only to shoot themselves in the foot by making absolutely no bloody sense.)

nayrt

This is pretty much how I felt too.

I get the concept of trying to make the books grow along with their readers, if that was the intention, but I don't feel it was actually handled well.
